After configuring EV scripts and Task Scheduler i finally was able to backup, However, i have this Error:
41261 | It is more than 2 days since backup or replication was detected for one or more open partitions. Open partitions with unsecured items scanned: 1 Total open partitions: 1 List of partitions: Express Vault Store Ptn1 |
|
Items in mailboxes will remain in an archive-pending state. Example symptoms: archive-pending items remain in mailboxes, leading to calls to your Help Desk from users. There may be a problem with your backup or replication procedures. Your procedures may have failed or may not have been configured |
Any info on how to solve this issue, please let me know. Thankyou so very much.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Sure Thing. Thank you:
Pre Backup Script:

Yes, i only have one vault store. The scripts does take it in and out of backup mode too.

So does you backup software remove the archive bit or do you need to use a trigger file?
05-21-2012 06:56 AM
Sorry for the late reply. I'm not too familiar with Avamar Backup. I will ask them about this.
05-21-2012 07:47 AM
afaik avamar does it flip the archive bit so that Enterprise Vault will detect that a backup has happened.
You would need to use a pre/post backup script to use IgnoreArchiveBitTrigger or PartitionSecuredNotification.

Great. Any info or links where i can get that info?

Just FYI, referring to my scripts above, I am getting these event log when Task Scheduler runs my prebackupmode script:
Successfully set Backup Mode on Vault Store.

These are the only 3. Any event missing that i should have?
05-21-2012 09:43 AM
Post Backupmode script event log:
Successfully cleared Backup Mode from Vault Store.

This is the only event log i see.

Those events look fine but like I said, you don't need all three as any one of the three will put your vault store in backup mode. It's sorta of like leaving a voice mail for someone, texting them to let them know you left them a voicemail and then emailing them to let them know you left a voice mail and sent them a text.
05-21-2012 09:57 AM
LOL!!! Thank you. I'm glad my script is working. I guess more research in Triggerfile. Man, this is not getting easier...
05-22-2012 11:48 AM
I'm not understanding the trigger file creation according to the link below:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH35610
Do i just create a text file in the vault partition name:IgnoreArchiveBitTrigger.txt? and i'm done?
05-22-2012 07:41 PM
Tell EV to check for a trigger file, as outlined in the technote.
Restart the storage service.
Create the .txt file in the root of each partition to be backed up.
In your *pre*-backup script, add in the line(s) to delete the renamed trigger file(s) - (which the storage service will automatically rename with the extension .old - after the post-backup script has run)
In your *post*-backup script, add in the line(s) to re-create the trigger file(s). As outlined in the technote.
Re-read the technote to ensure you're placing those lines in the correct location.
05-24-2012 08:33 AM
Thank you. I'll try this out.
05-25-2012 04:49 PM
Thanks, think the backup is working properly now. There are some items that are still in unsecured. Is that normal?
05-25-2012 08:18 PM
Possibly, depending on it you are journaling and when your archiving schedule run, manual archiving, etc..
How many items are you talking about?
05-29-2012 08:41 AM
Hi, sorry for the late reply. It cleared up somehow after several backups. Thank you.
