Backup exec appliance 3600 enable RDP
I am trying to RDP to the brand new backup exec appliance and as soon as I log in to the server it logs me off. I read some threads about needing to enable rdp via power shell and also saw some comments that only Symantec tech support can do that. How do I enable RDP?Solved2.3KViews1like2CommentsBE Appliance 3600 additional Tape Drive

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.Solved1.2KViews0likes3CommentsHelp with backing up VM's
Hello people who are reading this. Here is whats going on. I have 3 servers running vmware ESXi5.1and vCenter controlling them.I havea brand newSymantec 3600 Appliance. All the VM's are stored on a SAN connected by iSCSI. Now the old way I've been backing up the VM's is by installing the Agent for windows on the VM's and backing them up like that. Everything works fine like that. Since I now have the 3600, I shouldhave the V-Ray edition of agents for VMware. (Understand that I know nothing about the V-Ray edition other than they backup virtural machines better)I have everything from AD toSQL to Exchange and Sharepoint running on VM's. (Server 2003-2008R2)Is the methodof backing up the VM's the same as before oris there a better way then installing an agent on every VM?? Example: I have 3 Host ESXi 5.1 servers and 1 vCenter and 10 VM's. What is the best way to backup all the VM's? Do I install an agent on every VM? I have the option ofadding a vCenter server to my list of servers to backup, when I edit the selections I can see all the VM's on all the hosts but when I expand a VM it just shows the vmdk. Is there a way to backup both the vmdk and individual files on the server in one job? (i.e. exchange mailboxes, documents, etc.) Or do I create one job to backup the vmdk and one to backup the server itself?? Hopefully someone can understand my madness lol Thanks for any help!Solved875Views1like3CommentsBacking up a Linux VM
Hello, My company just installed a BUE 3600 appliance. We have began using it to backup our VM environment on one server, but we have another server that has a Linux OS running our wordpress blog. When we try to back it up we get this error. The job failed with the following error: Unable to create a snapshot of the virtual machine. The virtual machine may be too busy to quiesce to take the snapshot. Do we need a Linux client for the server? Or is this error caused by something else?804Views0likes3CommentsRemote Backup
Hello, We currently have two BE 3600 r2 appliances. Both are backing up all our servers. For critical servers Full backups weekly then daily incremental Rest Full backup bi-weekly then daily incremental We also have a another location, which is connected with 20M connection vpn(our main site has 20M up, and secondary site has 25down) I have been trying to figure out what the best way, I can backup our "backups" to that site. Because I can add network storage as destination on the BE appliance, I was thinking I can have a NAS device at the remote site, and that start backing up. But I have about 4.5 T of data in total. I can backup all that locally first and then take the device to the remote location. But then because my local backup are essentially chaning every week, how can I modify my existing backup stragedy so I can have local backups along with remote backups. Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, GurpreetSolved800Views0likes3CommentsWhich NAS Device to connect to a
I'm looking at upgrading our backup software. I'm interested in the following device, a Backup Exec 3600 Appliance and install this at the main site - SITE A. The problem is that I would replicate the data stored on that device to another connected site - SITE B. I dont have the budget to purchase two devices, but what I will have at the target site is a copy of Backup Exec and a Enterprise Server Option installed on a local domain controller + deduplication module. I want to purchase a NAS drive to replicate the backup stored on the Backup Exec 3600 Appliance. Thus if I was ever to suffer a catastrophic disaster at the main site, all I do is wait for new servers to arrive and to rebuild the servers using the replicated backup with the help of the backup exec and enterprise server installed. I cant afford an enterprise solution, the QNAPP devices appeal to me and my budget for a NAS drive is less than £1000 which includes 3x3TB Disk in a Raid 5 array. Can anyone recommend a good nas drive to backup the data, looking at the QNAP devices, and looking at deduplication, is the following supported? http://www.businessdirect.bt.com/products/qnap-ts-459-pro--nas-enclosure-79M3.html?src=15 Many thanks for looking at this.755Views0likes3Comments
