Simplified Disaster Recovery (SDR)
Hi, If the D drive of my backup appliance 3600.R3 is almost full i.e. 5 TB and with this setup I create the SDR disk (simple disaster recovery disk) , how much size should I expect of SDR disk ? I wonder if the creation of SDR disk would take the backup of D drive as well which in my case is around 5 TB of data. Regards1KViews3likes5Comments

vm may be too busy to quiesce to take the snaphot. BE2012
Hi Im running ESXi5.0.0 - last week I ran in a few updates to my hosts and it's now at patch number 914586 on my vm's , within the summary tabs , it said that vmwaretools were now out of date. I ran in the update to a few test/uat boxes and all seems fine. However, my backup solution (BE 2012) now fails to back up any of these vm's with the updated vmware tools , saying that the vm may be too busy to quiesce to take the snaphot. Other vms within my environment that are running now out of date vmware tools are able to be backed up fine. I can manually capture/create snapshots on the vm running the update version of vmware tools. I've uninstalled and reinstalled vmware tools and the BE client , but nothing I do can resolve the issue. and followed the KB arcticle that was linked to the error message : Is this a known issue on the vmware side or BE side? Help ! Regards FM.Solved485Views2likes1Comment
About shrinking the catalogs
Hi all, For my 3600 appliance, I've been backing up the catalogs (D:\BackupExec\Catalogs) regularly by burning the whole folder into a DVD. For a pretty long while since use, it's been good and remained at around 3.5 GB. However, in the last month, it's grown substantially and reached 4.9GB now. Any reason why it has expanded so much?Is there a way to shrink it so that I can burn it into a single disc successfully? Thanks, JoeSolved1.1KViews1like4CommentsDuplicate to tape "Rule Blocked"
I setup my 3600 to backup a server full / Incrim for a few months just to dedupe locally now a tape is being required so I installed a quantum ulta 5 half height tape library. (no updates available on the 3600 I am on 2012 SP4 with all the latest hotfix's) Ensured it is on the latest FW, did a full diagnostic via quantums propriertery software, ensured the hba was also on its latest firmware/driver ( I did this after when troubleshooting). Connected the tape drive and installed it via adding a tape drive in storage and used the symantec drivers. I then proceeded to modify the rule for the server I am backing up to dupelicate to tape and with all backups selected, then with most recent full backup to which I got a running job then back to scheduled with nothing else I tried a one off backup job and it worked.... I then created a new job with the same settings and deleted the old job I now get a rule blocked. I then proceeded to disable/hold every other job and clean out every old job, recoverys etc.... and tried it again still rule blocked I then changed the full backup to yearly removed inc and the tape to yearly and set it 6 months apart still rule blocked. to note I am trying to backup lotus DB only not exchange and I only have 2GB lleft on dedupe/disks I am at my 500gb reserve, so no new disk backups can occur I have also disabled all error handling rules and enabled logging to the maximum and couldnt see anything to which it was referring to ? any ideas as I am going out of my mind on thisSolved1.3KViews1like4Comments
