Using Backup Exec 2014. I'm trying to rerun a duplicate job as I had a tape error and decided to erase the tape and then just rerun the duplicate jobs. However I can't seem to rerun the duplicate jobs. If I right click on the jobs and say run now the...

We dedupe in our backups. 2010 R3 all hotfixes. I have separate backup and verify jobs as best practices say. I will get the E00084D4 errors even though I'm backing up to disk. A DAS (MD3000) that is supported by Symantec for disk backups for dedupe....

I'm trying to understand what I should expect from deduplication during the first backup of servers. For example let's say I back up a directory made up of Word documents, images, Excel spreadsheets, etc. Should I expect the first backup of that dire...

Thanks. I confirmed through Symantec the latest DDI's aren't included in Service Packs or through LiveUpdate. I updated all servers to the latest DDI anyway along with recent hotfixes.

Is that what you are doing? Running out of space on one tape and wondering why it doesn't tape with space left? Look herehttp://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/192265.htm"Caution: If an append job fills a media, the job continues on another piece o...

My guess is under Tools/Options (dialog box pops up) under Job Defaults/Backup you have the Media overwrite protection set to Overwrite. And when it can't overwrite do to the overwrite policy it prompts for a tape.I've had this happen before when fig...
