LTO5 tape is showing incorrect capacity
Hi There, I'm new to this forum, I use Backup Exec 2010 with an IBM LTO5 tape drive and we have three tapes that are showing a capacity of 35.4gb. If I try to use them it does indeed become full after 35.4gb. I've tried a full erase and everything I can think of and they're stuck at this capacity. I know it's only 3 tapes, not the end of the world... But I'm really curious as to what has happened to them. They weren't new, I think they came with the drive and had been opened. Any insight greatly appreciated!

Reconfiguring Tape Library Partitions
I recently took over admin duties at a company running Backup Exec 2010 using a Dell TL4000 tape library with two drives and 44 tape slots. The previous admin is gone but left the TL4000 partitioned with5 partitions. The first two each have one slot, the next two have three each and the remaining slots (9 through 44) are in the last partition. I need to change this configuration but I'm wondering what effect the changes would have on existing jobs that use the current configuration...will they update automatically? I don't want to make any precipitous changes that could cause problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Modified time changes
After performing a backup then restore using Backup Exec 2010, I noticed that the modified time on a couple of the restored files was different than the original, but was actually prior to the backup. Any ideas? Thanks, Bill Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Backup Exec 2010 Error "There is not enough disk space"
Hello I am running Backup Exec 2010 R3 on Windows Server 2003 R2. For the past 2 weeks, I've hadthe followingrepeated failure message on some backup jobs: Storage device "Windows Full" reported an error on a request to write data to media. Error reported: There is not enough space on the disk. V-79-57344-34034 - An attempt to write data past the end of the media has failed. This and a few other backup jobs are backing up to a 1 TB local disk on the same server on which Backup Exec is running. These backup jobs have been running successfully for the last few years but now lately the backup disk is becoming full and some jobs are failing. No configuration changes have been made. I do see that backups from a 3 or 4 days ago are still present. By deleting them, the jobs continue. I must add that all of these backup jobs were created about 4 years ago by my predecessor and I have newly taken over these responsibilities.Backup Exec is very new to me and I have a few questions: 1. I would assume that the backup jobs where the data is written to harddiskare configured such that older backed files are purged automatically: is this correct? How do I determine this in the backup job's setup? 2. I have checked the Job Setup for each of the different backup jobs and I cannot see anything which indicates that a particular backup job is backing up to a hard disk instead of to a tape. How do I determine whether data is being backed up to hard disk or to tape? 3. I think that Catalogs are part of the backup process to hard disk process. I see that there are files in the ...\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Catalogs\BackUpServer folder dating back to 2009. Are these old files necessary? I would think that Backup Exec would automatically purge old unnecessary catalog files: is this correct, or do they need tobe purged manually? Or should theynot be purged at all? Thank you for your help. Yes, I know I need to read the user guide but it's over 1200 pages long and I need to get this issue resolved before I focus on training. Best regards, Suzan

Determine which encryption key was used for a backup.
Recently I discovered that our monthly backup has been using the wrong encryption key. I still have the pass-phrase for the key that was used, so I can recover the data, but now I am wondering how many other month end backups were ran under the wrong key. Is there any way to determine which key was used for a backup? I have searched the job logs (the logs on the server and the ones that were emailed to me), but I cannot find out which key was used. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Backup Exec log files 38GB
We've had an issue with our server due to lack of free space. We've examined the contents of the drive and "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Logs\" is taking up 38GB of space. Can you tell me why it would take up this much space please? More importantly how do i cap it at say 10GB? We are using Backup Exec 2010 R3 on a windows 2007 sbs server. All our backups are backup to disk folders on removable drives and we backup also backup exchange and SQL. Thanks, your help is appreciated Thanks
