Hi all, I have an LTO-5 tape drive and daily/weekly/monthly full backup jobs of around 300GB. It is not essential, but if possible I would like for daily tapes to be only overwritten if the next job will not fit. So for instance Monday week 1, 2 and ...

Hi, I'm wondering if someone could clarify a couple of things for me. I want to use a synthetic backup policy in BE2012 to do a daily archive to tape of approx 300GB data. Incrementals will be around 5GB per day. I have an LTO-5 tape drive and a 1TB ...

Hi, We have BE 2012 with ADBO on a Win2008R2 server, backing a Win2008R2 file server with 600GB data stored on a SAN volume. The SAN is a Dell MD3200i, with hardware snapshots enabled. Approximately half the data is held in DFS replicated folders. Wh...

Hi, We are intending to implement a pair of ESXi servers connected to an iSCSI SAN with a third (much less powerful) server as the BE media server. An LTO-5 tape drive connected via a SAS HBA will be the backup location. One VM will have around 700GB...

Hi, I 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. I would be interested to know if anyone at Symanted has considered what ha...

After Larry's success, I had a look at my servers. They are Dell 2900s and T610s. The 2900s at least have the most current firmware and drivers for their PERC 5/i RAID controllers, so this solution does not help me. Marcusolini, is there anything f...

Everything seems to have gone quiet here. Any progress? I'm stuck waiting to for a fix to this - I need to test SDR working for a full backup and bare-metal restore before I can deploy in in production. Thanks, Richard

Marcusolini, My server too shows up as having only a "fibre" disk when in fact it has physical disks. Specifically, this server has a Dell PERC 5/i with 3 SAS disks in a RAID5 array. We also did experience this issue before upgrading to BE2012. Richa...

I'll have to provide the information on Monday as our systems are being powered down for building maintenance right now. However, I am certain that the server has two basic disk partitions only. It does have a remote access card with a virtual cd-rom...
