What is "File Server" in lists of servers to backup?
So I can backup a Windows Server, a Linux Server, a Macintosh Server or choose a Vmware ESX host to add to list of servers But what is a "File Server"? In which case should I use this instead of a Windows Server for exemple? Does this require a Backup Exec Agent and use a licence? Or can I use this to backup some windows shares without any agents and without requiring a licence?
HOW TO install BackupExec 2010 agent on Debian (RALUS)
I hope this post will be useful to many people (please vote for it or mark it as solution if it helps you). Installing directly RALUS on Debian will not always work. First problem : ../perl/Linux/bin/perl: No such file or directory Second problem : at the end "was not successfully installed" and "impossible to add VRTSralus to (server)" And some others that will get solved when following my solution This is a simple way to install it and avoid these (and other) problems : 1. (optional) Create a folder to keep all RALUS files and copy the archive into it : mkdir /root/BE mkdir /root/BE/RALUS2010 mv RALUS_RMALS_RAMS-2896.9.tar.gz /root/BE/RALUS2010/ cd /root/BE/RALUS2010 2. Unpack the archive provided by Symantec tar xzf RALUS_RMALS_RAMS-2896.9.tar.gz 3. Stop the RALUS service if it is already installed and runnig /etc/init.d/VRTSralus.init stop 4. Very important, if you are under a 64 bit Linux you have to this Extract debian package : tar xzf RALUS64/pkgs/Linux/VRTSralus.tar.gz Install debian package : dpkg -i VRTSralus-13.0.2896-0.x86_64.deb Start installation : ./RALUS64/installralus 5. But if you are under a 32 bit Linux you have to this (I didn't tested under 32 bits) : Extract debian package : tar xzf pkgs/Linux/VRTSralus.tar.gz Install debian package : VRTSralus-13.0.2896-0.i386.deb Start installation : ./RALUSx86/installralus or ./installralus 6. Be sure to answer all questions correctly especially the one about the host server (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX), you must give the IP of the Backup Exec server. 7. Do a restart of the RALUS Backup Exec agent, and it should say "[ OK ]" /etc/init.d/VRTSralus.init start I hope it will help ! Send me questions if you have other problems... Denis P.S. Tested with Debian 5.0.3 P.P.S. If you still have some problems : A) If you get "ERROR: VXIF_HOME is invalid. It must point to the root of VxIF. Exiting ...", simply edit ./RALUS64/installralus, and change line 3 : from : VXIF_HOME=../;export VXIF_HOME to : VXIF_HOME=/root/BE/RALUS2010/;export VXIF_HOME B) If you get "./RALUS64/installralus: line 50: ../perl/Linux/bin/perl: No such file or directory", simply edit ./RALUS64/installralus, and change line 50 : from : ../perl/$OS/bin/perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME -I../perl/$OS/lib/$PERL_VER ../installralus.pl $* to : ../perl/$OS/bin/perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME -I../perl/$OS/lib/$PERL_VER ./installralus.pl $* or to : perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME ./installralus.pl $* (to be clear, remove one dot in front of"/installralus.pl", keep only one dot instead of two) C) If the installation is sucessful but VRTSralus refuses to start, launch /opt/VRTSralus/bin/beremote –-log-console to see the error. If you get error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory you simply need to install the package : Under Debian 6.0.3 : apt-get install libstdc++5 (Thanks to RockwellMuseum)
Script for updating OpsCenter server entry on multiple Backup domain
I have to add new OpsCenter server entry in matser server properties for 500+ Backup domains. Could you please share if any script or easiest way to update the same instead of manully logging on each master and update through GUI (Hostproerties --> servers --> OpsCenter Servers).
Exchange Mailbox Archiving Report coming in 10.0.2- Give us your thoughts!
Hi, I'm very very happy to tell you of a great new feature we are delivering in Enterprise Vault 10.0.2. In this release we are delivering Exchange Archiving Reports which are generated whenever Exchange Mailbox archiving takes place.The reports are available during and at the end of the run. 3 reports are generated, brief, full and .csv. Each report will detail every mailbox on the Exchange server, and what archiving(if any) took place. Below is screenshot of a brief report and attached is examples of brief, full and .csv. The full report has many more columns, the .csvis a close representation of full butmeans you could put the data into excel if you wish and process it accordingly. In addition to these reports, a new event log entryis generated at the end of the run giving you a summary of what took place. The summary is also available from the properties of the archiving task and you can access these reportsvia that or on diskas well. If you take a look at theattach files you'll see that the fields all have "hover over" text explaining what they mean, in addition to this the report will link to a tech note giving further details. We are making final tweaksand would love to hear your feedback as soon as possible. Do you like it? does it have the content you want? do you understand the content, what questions might you have that we need to explain in a tech note? Pleasereply to this post with your thoughts. Yours, Mike Bilsborough
