Tks Microsoft Hyper-v Host - VM´s not appears in the host Guys, i´m trying to insert some vm´s to my backup exec 2014 by adding these vm´s trough Microsft Hyper-v host in Add a Server option, when i choose the Server Host that has the Vm´s, Vm´s not appear. Follows printscreen atacched. I have 4 node in failover cluster with Hyper-v in a Blade Center connected to a IBM Storage, my backup exec is using a IBM T. Library. It could be a license issue?

I´ll create the jobs, separating it by type of data, like one job for DataBase, one job for App, on job for FS and into this jobs i´ll put all the servers related, What you think? then i create a new one job as Monthly in the same date and time of weekly, then it will supercede automatically? One more thing, wich is the best way to get the size of all my backups BE 2014 - Backup Strategy Guys, i need help to create a new backup strategy for my enviroment. here i have 4 node failover cluster whit hyper-v, i have around 60 Vm´s and more 20 phisical machines. Diary (Incremental): 6 days retention Weekly (Full) : 4 weeks retention Monthly (Full): 1 year retention (sent offsite) what you think? i have some doubts about this: 1. I need to create one job for each backup type (diary, weekly and monhtly)? 2. for my diary backup (Incremental) i need to use a refernce Full backup for my incremental diary backup rigth? this full backup could be the weekly full backup or i need to create a full backup for diary and other for weekly? 3. i think in use media set for each backup type and configure the retention for each type, this way, when the overwrite protection of tape ends, BE 2014 will automaticaly user this tape again rigth? by now, i can´t user disk deduplicaiton, because i dont have avaliable storage to do this, but it is in my future plans. So guys, please help me on this, i need some helo to understand how is the best strategy and how apply this on BE2014 Thanks in advance. SolvedEstrategia de backup - BE 2014 Bom dia Senhores. Estou planejando a estrategia de backup para o meu ambiente, aqui tenho o seguinte: Failover Cluster com Hyper-v e em torno de 70 Vm´s espalhadas em 4 nós (Servidores de APP, BD, TS, File Server, Citrix e Portais) Cerca de 20 maquinas fisicas Pensei na seguinte estrategia Backup Diario - Retenção de 6 dias Incremental Backup Semanal - Retenção de 4 semanas Full Backup mensal - Retenção de 360 dias Full o que acham? minhas duvidas são Devo criar um job para cada tipo de backup? no caso de ter um job para cada, exemplo o backup Diario que é incremental, deverá utilizar como referencia o backup FULL Semanal ou devo ter o backup full diario para referencia do Incremental e mais um job para o backup semanal também Full. Devo criar um media set para cada tipo de backup, tipo um pool de fitas para cada um ? como devo fazer isto? Obrigado desde ja. Solved
