Does anyone know if any of following have been addressed/implemented by BE 2012: Advanced disk backup option can handle DFS. ADBO allows one to carry out a weekly full and then daily incremental backups. Upon restore, BE works out which of the increm...

If this wasn't so laughable, I'd cry. Trying to raise a support case with Symantec. Unable to logon to symaccount using IE8 - hangs at logon. So tried using Firefox and IE9 and whilst they logon, I get the attached error message when trying to create...

Backup Exec 2010 R3 - has been stable for months. Applied latest hotfixes last week as part of planned maintenance and since then some dedupe backup jobs have started failing with error E00084EC during the verify stage. The backup step itself complet...

How do you determine which updates LiveUpdate has installed? We installed one update last week and since then all deduplication backups are completing but failing to verify or restore (nice one Symantec for a minor upgrade). I need to determine which...

Despite all the doom-n-gloom in the "First impressions thread", we don't really fall into the "lots of servers" category so I'm going to have a gander at BE2012. One thing that would sway me is if dedupe to disk is improved. Mainly performance wise a...

Same issue here after installing latest hot fixes except we're still on BE2010. Full Exchange backup at the weekend backed up 65GB @ 908MB/min. Incremental backup last night backed up just 1.7GB at 9MB/min. It's always the incremental backups that si...

> have been following this issue for some time and am just as disappointed that DFSR and ADBO do not work together, and that DFRS in general is such a problem to backup. It is a real shame and it's still the case AFAIK several years after the problem...

I think this is an architectural problem in BE as opposed to a implementation one in your set-up. We see something very similar. We backup our Exchange 2010 server to a B2D device (SATA-2 RAID-10 local) with GRT and the last backup (~250GB) ran at 1,...

Hopefully you'll be okay but this hotfix broke our system whereby restore/verify from dedupe stopped working. We had to back out the hotfix and downgrade the remote agents: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/verifyrestore-not-working-afte...

So continuing the very-back-of-envelope calculation, you could say 2 x disk usage for ~6 months of deduplicated storage of an average office document based organisation. Cheers, Rob.
