BE 2012 and Data Domain w/ DDBoost
Background: So we have Backup Exec 2012 and two Data Domain DD620's. We have all the required licensing including the Data Domain DD Boost and replication licenses. I have installed the Open Storage Technology (OST) plugin 2.5.0.3 as suggested for the version of BE. Both DD boxes are visable and connected to my BE server. I have foud some documentation and a video that explains some of what I am looking for but not entirely and most of it is for BE2010. The BE 2012 documentation from DD is not up to date yet. I am trying to setup backups as my tape drive has had enough and is not working properly. Anyone I have talked to just says you backup to it, then I continue finding little things that need to be done. No verify, no precompression, some said no deduplication in the job, other said server side dedupe because DDBoost manages it with OST plugin. Too much information and not enough people knowing what to tell me. The DD weekend support guys don't know the software titles they just know the hardware. I need help now unfortunately... Question: What settings do I use for Backups? I have Active Directory, Exchange, SharePoint, and SQL agents.
Catalog error on one particular sever
Hi I'm back. After small issue to upgrade to backup exec 2012 sp1a, I have a very strange error. If I make a full backup of my virtual servers (CSV cluster), the backup to disk works just fine. But when the jobs start to make a duplication to tape, I receive an error saying 'An error was encountered writing to the on-disk catalogs'. the final error is The job failed with the following error: An error occurred while retrieving catalog information I found this article http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH53393 but it was no solution. The error is only generated on a particular server.
SharePoint backup on SBS 2011
We are a small business with a single SBS 2011 Standard server using Backup Exec 2012 Small Business Edition to backup onto RDX cartridges. I'm not particularly familiar with Backup Exec or SharePoint but hopefully the following questions make sense. Earlier this week we installed Hotfix 189571 and Hotfix 180964. Since then we started getting the following exception: Backup- \\[domain].local\C:V-79-57344-33925 - Error: SharePoint_AdminContent_deed[...].mdf is a component of a SharePoint server farm. It must be backed up using the Backup Exec Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server. Select it for backup from the Microsoft Server SharePoint Server Farms node. The same exceptions are also reported for the following files: SharePoint_AdminContent_deed[...]_log.LDF, SharePoint_ConfigurationDatabase.mdf, SharePoint_ConfigurationDatabase_log.LDF, ShareWebDb.mdf, ShareWebDb_log.LDF, WSS_Search_[server].mdf, and WSS_Search_[server]_log.LDF. We don't appear to have a "Microsoft Server SharePoint Server Farms" node that I can see, only "Microsoft SharePoint Resources" (and the exceptions occur regardless of whether that is selected or not). According to the Backup Exec License Informaton window we have "Agent for Microsoft SharePoint" but there is no mention of "Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server" are they two different things? According to the following technote: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH51230 "In order to completely protect the SBS Sharepoint environment, a license for the Backup Exec Sharepoint agent must be purchased and implemented." That technote appears to be referring to an older version of Backup Exec but as mentioned previously our License Information window says we do have "Agent for Microsoft SharePoint" (we didn't purchase it separately, it must be part of Backup Exec 2012 Small Business Edition). Does this mean that Backup Exec 2012 Small Business Edition doesn't back up the version of Sharepoint that comes with SBS 2011 Standard? In order to allow the backups to complete without exception I followed the workaround in TECH51230, it mentions renaming bedssps2.dll but in our install there is also a bedssps3.dll. I renamed both, is that correct for Backup Exec 2012? We don't use SharePoint at the moment so my main concern is whether the issues above and the workaround would affect Simplified Disaster Recovery. The following technote gives separate instructions for restoring SharePoint: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH179341 What would happen in our situation since we do not have specific SharePoint backup? Would the backup of C: and of the SHAREPOINT database suffice to get the server fully operational after a disaster recovery? Thanks.
slow sharepoint backup
Hello I have an issue with a Sharepoint GRT backup with NBU 7.6.1.2. The architecture is the following : - Sharepoint 2010, 2 Front web servers, 2 application servers, 1 Clustered SQL Server - all servers are virtual machines - Service account used for legacy Network, legacy client and client services is domain admin + local admin and has the required 4 rights in local security policy - DNS is OK (hosts has been also updated with short and long names - just in case) - non-GRT backup is runing fine - GRT backup is starting well, but after "some time" is slowing down ... - I have enabled verbose loging on SQL server and the following messages appear in bpkar log file : 21:54:06.290 [1708.7048] <2> vnet_sortaddrs: [vnet_addrinfo.c:3852] sorted addrs: 1 0x1 21:54:06.290 [1708.7048] <2> vnet_get_pref_netconnection: [vnet_addrinfo.c:4750] using interface ANY 21:54:06.290 [1708.7048] <2> vnet_sortaddrs: [vnet_addrinfo.c:3852] sorted addrs: 1 0x1 21:54:06.290 [1708.7048] <2> vnet_get_pref_netconnection: [vnet_addrinfo.c:4750] using interface ANY 21:54:06.290 [1708.7048] <8> vnet_cached_getaddrinfo_and_update: [vnet_addrinfo.c:1544] in failed cache ERR=10109 NAME=SVBLL-WI05Q SVC=bpspsserver 21:54:06.290 [1708.7048] <8> vnet_cached_getaddrinfo: [vnet_addrinfo.c:1267] vnet_cached_getaddrinfo_and_update() failed 6 0x6 21:54:06.290 [1708.7048] <8> init_remote_connect_recs: [vnet_connect.c:949] vnet_cached_getaddrinfo() failed, status=6, OS ret=10109, host=SVBLL-WI05Q, service=bpspsserver 21:54:06.290 [1708.7048] <2> vnet_sortaddrs: [vnet_addrinfo.c:3852] sorted addrs: 0 0x0 21:54:06.290 [1708.7048] <8> init_connect_recs: [vnet_connect.c:868] init_remote_connect_recs() failed 6 0x6 21:54:06.290 [1708.7048] <2> init_connect_recs: [vnet_connect.c:880] Ignoring some failures.
