Backup Exec log files 38GB
We've had an issue with our server due to lack of free space. We've examined the contents of the drive and "C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Logs\" is taking up 38GB of space. Can you tell me why it would take up this much space please? More importantly how do i cap it at say 10GB? We are using Backup Exec 2010 R3 on a windows 2007 sbs server. All our backups are backup to disk folders on removable drives and we backup also backup exchange and SQL. Thanks, your help is appreciated ThanksSolved12KViews1like4Commentsjob status - complete with exceptions

Dear Sir/Madam, We have an emergancy: Our backup Job notificate fails with Symantec Backup Exec 11d (version 11.0 Rev. 7170) " Job ended: woensdag 19 oktober 2011 at 10:48:54 Completed status: Failed Final error: 0xe00084ed - A hardware error occurred.

Hello, I'm using BackupExec 2012. I have migrated to this version from 10d. Right now I'm updating my Disaster Recovey Procedure before test and I'm a little bit confuse. Restoring server is different to this which I get used to it. Symantec force SDR option. Great things I must said but I can't understand why greent indicator goes off when I deselect directory on my D: drive. There is no system crucial data on my d: drive. Could someone explain me why it is happen ? Most of administrators knows what it should be resotored. The most important issue for me is to use manual disaster recovery. With BE 10d version when I wanted to restore the server I have just marked proper drives and system state during a single job. On BE2012 I can't do this in one time. When I press RESTORE button it appears wizard. First option is to choose FILES, FOLDERS... and second option is COMPLETE ONLINE.... When I press FILES, FOLDERS I'm able to restore all files without system state. When I press COMPLETE ONLINE... option then I'm able to restore system state but without files...madness (SDR is off). Please advice what to do first. Should I firstly restore files and folders and then in second job system state ???Solved588Views0likes3CommentsAfter restoring Exchnage server Backup Exec tries to restore on a exchnage server that is no longer available

I have issues with Backup Exec 2014 (clean install) on windows 2012 64 bits std. We have a weekly full backup every week and after the recyclable tape come back from the vault, I can see the tape show overwriteable and appendable. The tape status Blue bar is 95% (overwritable 1.3TB), and 5% (2GB) remain appendable. I also check the overwritable media set in the tape are all expried. On the backup exec setting -> storage _> Media overwrite protection level I have set to partial - protect only allocated media. Issues I am facing is during the weekly backup start, backup exec will backup 2GB data to appendable space on the tape and mark the tape overwrite protected instead of reuse the overwritable space. Once the tape been marked as overwrite prtected, the system will not able to write to it and ask me for new tape. Has anyone experience the same issues? What is the resolution?Solved579Views0likes1Comment
