Hi all, We have an issue where Backup Exec keeps going into trial mode after a reboot, in a certain environment. The Environment: Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V host, in a workgroup (this machine is in a workgroup because Microsoft recommend you do not put ...

Hi there, We installed a new server a few weeks ago running Windows Server 2008 R2. We installed Symantec Backup Exec 2010 R3 which worked well for the first week or so. The last few nights, the job has still backed up the right amount of data, but i...

Thanks Craig - yep, these boxes are fully updated (ie nothing more is showing in LiveUpdate). PKH - thanks for that. Is a bit annoying considering SBS can probably take 5 minutes more to start up than the host does. I can try delaying the BE servic...

I do understand what the OPL set to none means and it opens the gap for human error. We are aware of this risk. Any idea why it is not happily overwriting the tapes and is appending?
