Will not back up to external drive on a different server
I want my destination drive for Server1 sys recovery bkup to be on an external drive which is attached to Server2, which is in the same location, right next to Server1. From Server1 I am able to map the external drive on the Server2, manually copy files to Server2's external drive, and access the mapped drive normally. I can set up the system restore from Server1 to Server2 and get no warnings or errors, BUT, the Progress and Performance NEVER moves beyond 0% and Drive Backup stays at 'waiting'. I've got no problem running a Server2 sys recovery bkup from Server2 to that same external drive. Any Ideas? One important point, I'm using the System Recovery Option, and not the stand alone version. Symantec Sales told me was just like the stand alone version, but I've learned it is actually a 'watered down' version.How to install System Recovery Option?
I'm supposed to install the System Recovery Option, but I'm not sure how to do it. It doesn't install like a 'regular' option... a mssg indicates I need to install the software from a different disc. But the install guide tells me to use the "Backup Exec System Recovery" product CD, but I don't have one. but All I received were the cd's labeled 'System Recovery Option'. Any suggestions? Thanks
