SBE 2014 Full Backup Not Working

SBE_User
Level 4

Hopefully I'm missing something simple here.

I installed SBE 2014 on a Windows 2012 server.

I deployed the agent to a different 2012 server.

I created a job to do a full backup of a folder on that server - which has lots of folders and files under it. (~ .5 TB)

The full backup runs for about 30 seconds, declares itself a success, and it has not backed up anything except the top level folder structure - no files and no sub-folders.

 

Am I missing a checkbox somewhere?  In the selections list everything is checked properly so I'm not sure what's happening.

 

Thanks.

If you are trying to backup DFS (Distributed File System) data then select the folder through the

Shadow Copy Components of the remote server.

If the folder is a DSFR folder, then it would not be backed up during a normal for backup. You got to backup the shadow copy compliment of the volume. See this document http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH85354

You guys are geniuses.  That was it!

 

Thank you both very much.

I don't use the forum much so I hope I did this right, but I requested a split solution so you both get credit.

 

Thanks again!
