Tape consume extra space then actual upload size
We were taking Tape backup (LTO) from Windows server folder. After backup was completed, when we compared the size on the Tape was different from the actual size on the windows folder. We could not able to find where the extra space consumed on the tape. Windows Folder size: 58 GB After Tape Back, size on tape is: 90 GB We could not able to identify this extra 32 GB How and where on tape drive we can identify extra utilized space/files/waste ? andhow we can remove it ? Thanks&Regards Sachin
Is there an agent removal tool?
I had v10 or so installed and upgraded to v21. Existing agents on W10 machines will not uninstall. I followedhttps://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100005184 but still the new version still fails to install b/c there is an existing agent. Is there an agent removal tool or more complete instruction?
Backup Exec Restore
Hello when I attempted to restore the SQL database, the following error occurred. V-79-65323-4305 - The log in this backup set begins at LSN 375268000006452800001, which is too recent to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 375268000001202400001 can be restored. thanks,,
Inaccurate disk storage
Hi All, Anyone can help me figure out or resolve the issue? We have network storage (10TB free/50TB) after deleting the old backup with that we can at least have the space available. but in the BE console shows (46.5TB used/50TB). and that is not accurate to our original capacity which is (10TB free/50TB). It might also cause a failed backup and it turns out to offline status because it is already full. Is there any resolution that might help us to resolve this? Thank you in advance.
MSL2024 Robotic Partition reconfiguration
Hi, I have a Query at a company running Backup Exec version 21.4 using an HP LTO tape library with two drives and 24 tape slots. The previous IT guy is gone but left the partition with 14 partitions. The first 1 -11 is a single partition and the rest of each has one slot, I need to change this configuration but I'm wondering what effect the changes would have on existing data that use the current partitions. will they update automatically? I don't want to make changes with existing 12 to 24 individual partitions if reconfiguring the partitions and changing from 14 to 24 individual could cause problems or data loss. 1-11 don't have drives
Problem BackupExec 21 After Crash
A backup server had a problem, I reinstalled it on another machine, using the same previous storage (NAS), I was able to run the catalog without any problems, but it can no longer establish the trust relationship with VMWare, it reports an error when trying establish the trust relationship, with code E0008921. Calling Method 'SetServer Trust' BEMSDK Method 'MediaServerAdvertisementUpdate' BEMSDK Failure Code: E0008921Programmatically collecting Backup Exec version from endpoints
Hello, we are trying to figure out how we can get the installed version of backup exec on all our endpoints with a script. according to this article one should look at the add remove programs page or Backup Exec's about page. https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100054473 add remove programs collects the information fromthe registry "DisplayVersion" key located under "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Veritas Backup Exec 21.0"which value for the test machine is "21.0.1200" However, seems that it is not updated with the software, as backup exec is updated to "Version 21.4 Rev. 1200.2536" according to the about page. Where can i look to programmatically extract this "21.4.1200.2536" version? Additionally, checking the versions of some of the executables they seem to be on version "21.0.1200.2536" which is neither here nor there, would love it if you can shed some light on these discrepancies, Thanks, V.
Can Backup Exec Server be installed in a workgroup and backup agents over hardware firewalls
Hi Can Backup Exec be installed on a non-domain server? I have done it in the past, but wanted to know if it is possible with the latest versions and for it to still be able to back up other remote agents also in workgroups. Can it also back up agents over a third party firewall, and if so, can the number of ports required to be open, be minimised to a very limited number? Thanks Chris
