So to start things off right, I have never used Symantec Backup Exec. I am basically an interim IT guy until the replace me with a new IT manager. The guy before me basically up and left without saying a word or documenting anything and there was no one else here that knows how the server stuff works.
From what I've gathered, there is a back up that is performed every night Monday-Friday and then on Friday the data is stored onto an 80GB tape. This is what imagine is going on:
June 1st - backup to hard drive
June 2nd - backup to hard drive
June 3rd - backup to hard drive
June 4th - backup to hard drive
June 5th - backup to hard drive -> backup entire week to 80GB tape
etc, etc, etc...
This was working up until recently when the system has appeared to stop backing up the individual days.
So apologize if this doesn't make much sense but I'm really unfamiliar with this software. Anyway, I appreciate any help that anyone can give. Let me know if you have any questions or need more of an explanation. Thanks!
