Hi,
- Please note that Backup Exec for Windows Server is not designed to work in environments where the Hard-drives are swapped.
Refer this technote:
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/276904.htm
An enhancement request has already been submitted for future revision of the product for this type of Backup-to-disk folder functionality (with drives that do not maintain a consistent connection with Windows) . We would like to suggest you to submit a request similar to this at http://enhancement.veritas.com.
When swapping drives or media, you will have either restart the services or create a new folder.
- Regarding the number of bkf files, refer this information:
If you have one Backup-to-disk folder and you are targeting a backup job to it, it will be appended for every backup and depending on the .bkf file size that you have selected it will create those number of files for a certain backed up data.
Eg: When you mention the maximum size of the backup to disk files as 2 MB and when 15 MB of data being backed up, there will be 7 .bkf files of 2 MB each will be created and one .bkf file of 1 MB.
