Hi, Ihave Backup exec 12.5 Rev2213 with all the latest patches installed on my server.

Ihave restarted both the backup and remote server, cleaned the drive, paused &unpaused the device, checked and cleared all the alerts and tried a different tape. Iam now out of ideas.

The Backup Exec user interface can only be run as a fully trusted application under .NET security policies
I downloaded and installed BEWS 12.5on our Windows 2008 Small Business Server (64-bit) this morning without problem. Following installation, Live Update ran and applied a bunch of patches including SP3. I then rebooted the server and tried launching Backup Exec for the first time. I immediately get the following error: The Backup Exec user interface can only be run as a fully trusted application under .NET security policies. This means you must run it from a directory on your local computer or you must configure .NET security to fully trust the application from a network location. (For more information, see http://entsupport.symantec.com/umi/V-259-0012) The application is being run from C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec, which is about as local as I can get.

Can you export BE config and import it to new server?
Hello, my question is does BE version 12 or 2010(sorry cant remember) have the ability to export it's configuration (to include jobs and policies) and then import that info into a new installation? I have a customer that is using BE inside a VM as well as a bunch of other applications that are starting to make the VM perform bad. He wants to create a new VM and move the BE config to it. I do not know this product and i am unsure if this is possible. If it is possible, i would think some of the steps would be like this: 1 Export Config 2 Create new VM 3 Install BE on new VM 4 Import Config Is this even possible? I am trying to see if we can aviod having to recreate all the backup policies Thanks for your help.11KViews1like8CommentsError E000FED1 - Final error: 0xe000fed1 - A failure occurred querying the Writer status.

Does anyone know where I can download x64 bit Backup Exec 12.5 for Windows? I am running a Windows Server 2008 R2 OS. I have tried BE 2010 and am not impressed so far at the backup to disk speeds, nor the scenario with backing up Netware (most of my data). I am trying to evaluate whether to leave my current BE 12.5 32-bit server in place or install 64-bit 12.5 on my new server. If BE 12.5 isn't going to work with 2008 R2, then I will probably use the server for an other purpose rather than move to BE 2010.

How to configure the Backup Exec Oracle Agent - Practical Step by Step Instructions
Hi All, I had a few problems with this, even after a support call, so I thought I would publish a detailed "click-here", "click-there" how-to article. 1. First, this should work for at least versions 11d and 12 since I did this on version 12 and compared it to a version 11d installation. I cannot verify that it will work for any other versions. This should also work for DB2 by substituting the DB2 component where I mention an Oracle component since they appear to configure the exact same way, but again, I could not verify this with certainty since I do not have a DB2 database. 2. Start the “Backup Exec Remote Agent Utility” from the “Backup Exec for Windows Servers” start menu group or if the shortcut is missing, from “c:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\vxmon.exe”. 3. On the “Status” tab, check the “Start the Remote Agent Utility every time you log on” check box. 4. On the “Publishing” tab, check the “Enable the Remote Agent to publish information to the media servers in the list” check box. Click “add” and add the media server IP address or server name. Assuming that your main Backup Exec application is on that server, I recommend using the local host IP address (127.0.0.1) for ease since you would never have to change it if you later change the server name or IP address. NOTE: The definition of Symantec term “media server” is the server where the main Backup Exec services reside. 5. On the “Oracle” tab, click new, and select the “instance” you wish to backup. The user name here should be the Oracle “SYS” user and the proper password. Enter the media server IP address or server name. Again, I recommend using the local host IP address, 127.0.0.1. This user will correspond to the user we will create later during step 7 in the main program in “Network>Logon Accounts”. 6. On the “Database Access” tab, check the “Enable media server authentication for Oracle and DB2 operations” check box. Enter the user as Domain\Administrator and click the “Change password” button and set the proper password for the Domain\Administrator account. This user will correspond to the user we will create later during step 8 in the main program in “Tools>Options>Oracle>Modify List”. Check the “Use the full computer name or IP address for Oracle and DB2 operations” check box. Enter the “Name or IP address” of the Oracle Server. Again, since our Oracle was on that server, I used the local host IP address, 127.0.0.1. NOTE: The documentation states that whatever you filled in here to backup, you must use the same exact value to restore. If you use the server name to back up, you will need to use the server name to restore, etc. 7. Go to the main Backup Exec for Windows Servers program. Go to the menu item “Network>Logon Accounts” and click “New”. Add the Oracle user “SYS” with the proper password and hit “OK”. This needs to match the user you created in Step 5 on the “Oracle” tab. If it does not exist, also add the Domain\Administrator user also and set it as default by clicking the “Set as default” button to the right. Add this user even if “System Logon Account” already exists since they need to match the format exactly with the user you entered in the “Database Access” tab of the “Backup Exec Remote Agent Utility” per the Symantec/VERITAS support article 292442. 8. Go to the menu item “Tools>Options>Oracle>Modify List” and click “New”. Add the IP address of the Oracle Server and pick the Domain\Administrator account from the “Logon Account” drop-down box and hit “OK”. This needs to match the user you created in Step 6 on the “Database access” tab. Again, I used the local host IP address, 127.0.0.1, since our Oracle database is on the same server as the Backup Exec. All the information you entered here should correspond to the information you entered in the “Database Access” tab. 9. You should now be able to select your Oracle database as a backup resource. You should also check the credentials for your job by going to the “Job Setup” tab and double-clicking any backup selections you have in the “Backup Selection Lists” pane, then going to the “Resource Credentials” in the left pane, and then hit “Test All”. The computer level at the top should use the Domain\Administrator account, the rest will inherit from that, with the exception of the “Oracle Database”, which should be using the SYS account we created in step 7. If not, highlight it and click “Change” on the right side. Other common problems include the database needing to be placed in “automatic archive log mode” as described in Symantec/VERITAS support article 266835; and the need to change the “Archive Log Mode” from “NOARCHIVE LOG” to “ARCHIVE LOG” (in version 9, in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, go to “Network>Databases>DatabaseName>Instance>Configuration” and then to the “Recovery” tab, and check “Archive Log Mode” box. This needs to be done as the Oracle SYS user and this can be changed in “Configuration>Edit Local Preferred Credentials” if necessary. KEYWORDS: 0xe0001403; 0xe0001014; “Failed to access Oracle database”; “Cannot start an Oracle session. Check that the logon credentials are correct, and have sufficient privileges.”; “The database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode and is OPEN. To back up the database when it is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, the database must be MOUNTED but not OPEN.” Relevant Symantec/VERITAS support articles regarding common errors, setup, backup, and restoration using the Oracle agent: 266835; 292497; 292442; 300135; 300134; 300133; 300130; 300119; 300125; 300123; 300118; 300116.

Tape drive keeps going offline
I have a backup configured on a HP storage works DAT 160 SAS tape drive. Every so often the backup fails and the HP tape drive goes offline. I can then right click the tape drive and select online and it comes online but when i click inventory the drive goes offline again. I have checked the cables and made sure that they are plugged in and the only way to fix the problem for a short while is to stop the backup exec services turnoff and turn on the tape drive then restart the services. Can anyone please help with this problem? Thanks, JoshSolved7.6KViews1like10Comments
