I have an ongoing and persistent problem where Backup Exec 2014 (and previous versions) jump media sets AND tape sets all the time. Not only does this frustrate me in that the appropriate media is available, but it destroys a tape sets I may potentia...

I have been having an issue with one of my GFS jobs since the monthly backup ran. I generally keep a set of weekly, several sets of daily and one blank set of overwriteable scratch media in my library. Last month when the monthly tapes ran, the job d...

Our anti-spam server recently crashed and in order to keep email flowing, we added the IP address of the anti-spam server as a secondary address to the Exchange server (our anti-spam server is only one of four layers of malware defense). We did this ...

Yes, I guess I could. It seems to me that having a media set is like an "electronic partition" and should be just as good as a library partition. I've only been managing the BE environment for a short time. All my experience was with CA/Arcserve and ...

Guys, thanks for the quick responses. After getting your solutions, I first tried re-establishing the trust and got an error about the service not being installed. So I logged into our Exchange server and discovered that the agent service was not run...
