I've set up dozens of BE2010R3 solutions, and have one that's frustrating the heck out of me. Overall, it's the most reliable one I support as far as success rates of the backup jobs of other servers. What won't back up is the media server itself (ph...

We had to change the name of one of the servers here than runs BE2012. After the name was changed (forced for some goofy corporate server name compliance mumbo-jumbo), I can't even get the services to start. Is there an easy way to remedy this other ...

I have a remote customer that swaps tapes in a drive each day for their daily backup (It's a robotic library, but they only half-fill one tape). On the old BE2010r3, I could schedule an unlock to run when appropriate so they wouldn't have to call to ...

I've had just the opposite. I have a rotating pool of 4 drives (connect one at a time & switch out weekly) and today, BE2012 decided to report them ALL online. (They all have different drive letters, and are configured as B2D devices.) Something's ...

My VMWare (and yes, I am now using a paid-license version of ESXi!) backups of the VMHost are backing up, but finish with two different exceptions: v-79-57344-38747 backup exec was unable to prepare microsoft active directory resources for granular...

One of my co-workers suggested something really crazy, and so far it's progressed farther than before. Instead of selecting the "machine level" choices (top of the resource selection tree), I'm selecting them from the "favorites" list that seems to b...

I thought Backup Exec did that on its own...

So what do those of us with screwed up backups do to safeguard our servers in the meantime? Do we need to research a different product in the meantime and install that instead?

When I first tried 2012, I was pretty supportive of the changes... However, that was on a small network with two servers. Now, I've tried putting it on a network with 18 servers to back up, and it's a nightmare. In the past, there have been those ine...
