I wanted to share my problems and solution regarding Backup Exec 2012 and the Service Pack 4 update in hopes it might help others. I’ve seen several threads on this topic, but the official response from Symantec has always been, “there are no k...
I have 4 external USB3.0 drives attached to my BE2012 server. I have configured the backup jobs for my 6 servers to these disks. After running for a couple weeks to get a handle on my storage requirements, I believe my storage capacity is sufficien...

I have not been able to get this to function as I would like, so with my limited time and resources to address it further, I chose to abandon storage pools. Perhaps I'll revisit this another time.
Thank you to everyone for your insight and...
