CASO Server Down/Unavailable
Hello I have 2 3600 appliances in my company. Both in different sites. We are backing up servers locally to each and duplicating jobs between both devices. One of the servers is alsolicensed with the enterprise server option (CASO). My problem is that my appliance running the CASO license has fallen over and died. The other appliance is running fine , however all the backupexec services have stopped on it and we cannot connected to it. How can I move my enterprise server option license to this MMS server and start recovering/backing up again ? Regards F1.4KViews3likes14CommentsOracle backup job failed - Unexpected error - E0001005

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
How much space is required for client side deduplication?
Hello, We are running BE 2012 on a 3600 R2 appliance. When attempting to run a backup of SQL located on a vm, it fails with the following error: Storage device "Appliance_Dedupe_BACKUP:3" reported an error on a request to write a media location identifier (file mark). Error reported: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Veng-sql2-backupVENRetailWindows_V-6.1.7601_SP-1.0_PL-0x2_SU-0x110_PT-0x3 - An unknown error has occurred. However, more importantly, the backup job seems to completely bring down the vm. In discussion with vmware, it appears as though local disk space on the vm is expanding during the backup, and since the disk is configured as thin, it automatically expands causing the entire datastore to fill up, bringing the vm down and preventing it from starting up again until space is freed up. We were able to bring the vm back by moving the vswp file to another datastore. So my question is, does this sound like a problem with insufficient space required for client side dedupe? How can we determine how much space is required for this? When checking the Backup Exec AOFO Store folder on the vm, it's empty, which I understand automatically cleans up after a reboot. Since this occured on a production server, we can't rerun the backup until we know for sure what caused the issue. Thanks.Solved1.2KViews0likes3CommentsOperating System not found when Restoring VM

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, JoeSolved1.1KViews1like4Comments
Symantec Appliance SUBNET
Hello, I set up a second network to be backed up by a network other than the production network, but is failing. I have a hyper-v cluster configured with two networks, but when I launch the backup for the backup network fails, it is strange because when I see the jobs if the cluster virtual machines and let me choose the machine and complete the jobs. Has anyone ever created this configuration? greetings, thank you very much in advance.Solved960Views0likes5Comments
Access Denied using Admin Console post R3 Upgrade - unable to enable RDP as well
We just upgraded one of our two 3600 appliances to R3 and when we launch the Backup Exec Administration Console from the Web GUI we get"Access Denied" the same as if we tried to RDP directly to the appliance. Using powershell to enable remote desktop for troubleshooting no longer works either. We have a case open but have not had a call back yet and we are unable to run backups so this is kind of critical. Any ideas?947Views0likes3Comments
