BackupExec 2014 - No writable idle devices available
Hello, I'm needing some help with what to me is a strange issue. I have several jobs which were queued but not running even though they should have completed. I found thatthe spoold service was stuck or hung in a starting condition.After searching the forums before I tried anything, I re-started the server and this time the spoold service is no longer hung. All services are running correctly. Now I'm getting a Job Status of Ready; No writable idle devices are available. Also when I go to the storage tab I find that everything is online except Deduplication disk storage 0001 of the Robotic library says it is offline. I am using BE2014 v14.1 rev 1786 64-bit on a Dell PowerEdge R320 Server running Windows 2012 R2 Server Standard (full installation) 64-bit. I appreciate any help that I can get for this issue. I'm not sure what other information anyone may need. I'll be happy to try andsupply any information needed. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

V-79-57344-38264 - Unable to copy the virtual machine disk using the VMware VixDiskLib.
Hello Everyone, Currently we have a server 2008 64bit server with BE 2014 which was upgrade from 2012 and for some strange reason I keep getting this particular error message while backing up a few VMs as you can see below. V-79-57344-38264 - Unable to copy the virtual machine disk using the VMware VixDiskLib. VixDiskLib_Read() reported the error: NBD_ERR_DISKLIBV-79-57344-38366 - WARNING: "VMVCB::\\10.0.1.5\VCGuestVm\(DC)ha-datacenter(DC)\vm\SCSMDW\SCSMDW\SM Warehouse-000002.vmdk" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify. Transport mode 'nbd' was used for the read operation of the disk 'SM Warehouse_1-000002.vmdk' In addition, I have research this particular message and I have not yet found anything online that is exactly what I am having issues with. Furthermore to provide additional background information the issue that I am having with the VM are on an Exsi host that is running version 5.5.

BackupExec & EMC Datadomain
Hello; Nowadays I need to implement a deduplicated disk based backup&recovery solution for a clustered vmware system which is hosting exchange 2010 and AD servers... I have to decide how to position deduplication and backup software solutions together. In some articles I see that Symantec Backupexec and/or Netbackup is used with EMC Datadomain EMC Datadomain has deduplication feature and it's used also as a backup/recovery software. If I buy EMC Datadomain, will I need to another software Symantec Backupexec or Netbackup ? Both Backupexec and Netbackup has "deduplication" feature. If I prefer Backupexec, what's the advantage of Datadomain as an additional appliance?

OST and storage server creation
Hi, Im trying to create an OST disk pool and although the storage server is created successfully with the following command: nbdevconfig -creatests -storage_server<datadomain_name>-stype DataDomain -media_server <media_server_name> but it fails when tried to add the media server as a data mover with the following command: tpconfig -add -storage_server<same data domain name as before> -stype DataDomain -sts_user_id <user> -password <password> I have logged straight into the data domain with the supplied credentials and it gets in fine. I've checked its not using a mix of FQDN and shortnames by making everything local, even on the data domain, ive restarted nbrmms on the media server a few times so I'm bit at a loss to what to try next. The error I get is: Failed to open server connection to type DataDomain server scodd1: Error = 2060046 Authorization failed for OpenStorage server scodd1 Im using netbackup 7.0.1, DataDomain OS version is 4.9 and the OST plugin is version 2.5.1.0-326737. My media server is RHEL5. Could it be that I'm using too new a version of the OST plugin? I find it odd its happy to create the storage server but wont pass credentials. There was nothing I could see in the release notes to say the version of the OST plugin (which is the newest stable release) wouldnt work with 4.9 but maybe im wrong. Does any have experience of these versions? Thanks in advance for any help given. Robert

NBU with DD boost over FC
Hi, I'm currently doing some test fora project that the client is going touseNBU with data domain boost. We tried and sucess to backup data to DD boost through NBU, however, I can't establish the connection between NBU server and DD. Even the NBU server is visable to DD, NBU server wouldn't be able to mount the DD and see it on the device manager. Have search the NBU compatibilty matrix onhttp://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH59978but I couldn't found the compatility of NBU and DDOS. 1) Can someone share the experience of using DDBoost over FC with NBU? 2) We are suspecting this is the compatability issue betweenNBU and DDOS, would that be a case? We are currently testing on Win server 2008 R2 with NBU 7.6.1 and DDOS 5.5.0.1. Best, Brian

Netbackup 7 - Incorrect disk pool available space
Hi, I'm currently testing Netbackup 7 in our lab. I created a media server dedup disk pool (on a Win2k8 R2 Std 64 bits server). Backups were working fine until recently. I'm now getting error 129 (insuffisent disk space). After looking at the drive, I only had 18gb left (the drive is 1TB). I went in the catalog and expired a bunch of older backups. My disk space is now back to 120gb but for some reason, Netbackup's disk pool properties still report only 18gb as available space. I've tried restarting services (and even rebooting the server) but nothing changed. I figured maybe it would get updated by one of the admin tasks that runs every night so I left it like that for the week-end but this morning, the console still shows 18gb available space. Is there a way to force Netbackup to recalculate the available space? Also, on a related note... looking at the disk pool properties, there is a "Disk volumes" section where it reports my 18gb free space. I've search a lot but couldn't find a way to add a 2nd volume to the disk pool (didn't find anything in the admin guide or the console). Since the section has a "s" to volumes, I'm guessing it is doable. Can anyone point me in a direction in case I'd eventually need to add a 2nd lun to the server for additional space? Thanks a lot for your help! Philippe

Windows Change Journal not working with Offhost Backup
After my Update to Backup Exec 2012 I wanted to try using Off Host Backups for our file server. The data is stored on a Dell Power Vault MD 3000i and I am using the newest hardware snapshot provider from Dell: SmVssProvider (Version 10.80.10). I also want to use True Image Restore and therefore created a backup job with the "using catalogs" option. Now I ran into the following issue: I created a backup job with "using catalogs" and the hardware snapshot provider. Full and incremental jobsseem to work fine. If I change the job definition to use the Offhost feature the full backup job runs way faster but I get the following warning for incremental jobs: "The Windows Change Journal is unavailable or incomplete. This resource will be backed up without using the Windows Change Journal." If I understood correctly this means Backup Exec has to use the catalogs instead of the NTFS change journal leading to a significant performance impact. Can anybody help me finding the reason for this issue?

Backup to Disk and then to Tape
I don't know if this is a new suggestion or if this is a capability in Backup Exec that I haven't discovered. When I backup with Backup Exec 2010 R3. I have some jobs that Backup to Disk, then with the policy I have a Duplicate backup the data to Tape I constantly have to battlerunning out of disk space, and jobs failing because there was some issue that kept the Tape drivebusy. I would like to be able to see when mybackup to disk media has been copied to Tape. Knowing this would insure that I am getting these backups to Tape.I regularly have tofree updisk space to keep the Backup to Disk running, and with all the jobs I have running, it is hard to determine which have been backed up to Tape. One way I see would be a good solution if it is possible is:A policy or rune thatchanges the status of the disk mediato Overwritable after the disk media is copied"successfully"to Tape?Oreven better yetupdate theoverwritable expiration date based on the completion ofa successful duplicate to disk copy. I do not have Advanced Disk based backup option, does this provide such a feature? Thanks, Ray L.
