Don't recall which version of BE this started in but I'd guess it was the 20.x or 21.x version when instant GRT was enabled. Currently running 21.4Backup jobs of virtual machines (vSphere ESXi) complete with the following warning:Directory 'C\Window...

A recent security scan showed a self-signed certificate generated by backup exec. This certficate is signed using SHA-1 which is considered weak.Is there a way to get Backup Exec to create a new certificate using SHA256?This is the certificte in ques...

Current we backup to LTO tape media, about 6TB per week. I know there are various methods for duplicating backups but I'm looking for a solution that would allow me to automate the duplication of the most recent full and all the incrementals availab...

Since installing Backup Exec v20.3 some jobs that complete successfully will be shown in the interface as active. It doesn't seem to cause any issues but in order to clear it I have to restart the BE services.

Just curious what type of performance people are seeing when backing up virtual machines with LTO 7 (FC) drives on a 1Gb network. The highest transfer/backup rate I see is around 2GB/minute which seems slow since I can copy files across the network ...

I signed in with the logon account (used for backups) and another account and both accounts are able to open and read the files in that folder. Looking at the past warnings it open happens if there are any files in the folder. On servers where the fo...

Yep, it's not backup exec it's the SQL server backup exec uses.I'm assuming when backup exec is installed the certificate for SQL is created. Not sure how to update it so it uses stronger encryption/cipher. Right now it's using SHA-1 but needs to use...

I could be wrong but I think those values are basically each file. So say you are backing up 1,000 files. That would be 1,000 puts. Gets would be retreivals. That's at least my understanding. There's a ton of information on the AWS site which I've j...

The speeds we see are much slower when doing a VMware VM backup. Full backup jobs run at about 1.8GB/min while the incremental jobs run at about 450MB/min to 650MB/min.We have no file servers with millions of files. Most of the systems are just regul...

I don't recall if it occurred with 20.1 but it's certainly possible. It's really bad with 20.3. Server has 2 CPU sockets, 8 cores for each CPU, 16GB of RAM. Nothing is using the CPU at all when this happens and RAM use is very low. Doesn't seem to be...
