I have two VMWare ESXi 4.1 hosts, and am backing up the guests to tape on a physical server over a 1 Gbps line. The guests are all on direct attached storage. A couple weeks ago the backups on one host began to crawl. For example, a 20 minute backup ...

I have a few files that are selected for backup, but I receive this entry for them in the job log: "File <file path> is in the backup selection list but was not found" . These files are located on NAS storage, but other files are backed up from tha...

This error appears on our 2010 R3 media server: The remote computer is running a previous version of the Backup Exec Remote Agent. Strange thing is that the "remote computer", is the media server itself. The remote agent is not listed when I attem...

LiveUpdate does not install version R3. The download is a trial version. If I install this, how would that work with our Not for Resale non-profit version which does not appear to have key codes?

I have SQL running on a VM, and for that reason need application-consistent quiescing by Backup Exec. Does BE 2010 R2 do this level of quiescing? If not, I think a restore of the VM could yield bad results with the database.

A few different servers have been backed up, and I have turned off GRT to ensure the apps are not a source of the problem. I have also recreated the jobs.

Thank you for all the suggestions. Here is what I found: - The network adapters on the VM hosts are configured for 1 Gbps, full duplex, and the adapters on the guests and the switches are set to auto-negotiate. This is true for both the server with...

Can you tell me at which point in the SDR restore process I can choose the .DR file? In my testing, I do not see an option to choose a DR file. I only see the option to choose a "Point in Time" from a dropdown list, and the backup jobs are only as ...

I have followed the procedure above to backup only the SQL logs, but the incremental job is backing up the same resources as under the Full backup (both the drives AND the logs). I have excluded the drives under Exclusions, but this does not prevent...
