is BESR suitable for me?
Hi everyone, in my organization we are purchasing a new servers and we need a good backup software with it, we have about 12 windows server 2008 servers, a SAP system , a SAN Storage and a tape library. can BESR backup the servers and the files from the SAN Storage to the tape library? , and can BESR deal with Oracle Databases? because i didn't find any agents for that. I read that BESR-MS is not compatable with windows server 2008. is that true? Thanks and Regards

I needed to remove one of the servers and did so by using the "unmanage" option and wanted to re-add it again. I used the original Easy installer packages as well as created new installers (i.e Management Control) as indicated in the Symantec document but the servers still do not appear in the Management console.

BESR 2010 server -- a question about the actual size of backup files
Hello everyone, I recently used BESR 2010 server (60-days trial) tocarry outa fullydisk backup forour server which is on win2003SBS x32.The serverhas RAID1 system which is divided in to 3 partitions, c,d,e C drive is system drive, 16.9GB occupied. D and E drivesare bothstoring sql database and some software, both 170GBoccupied in total. The backup filesare createdontoourexternal harddrive (1.5TB).But when I check thebackup folderin whichhas 3 files, drive_c.v2i (8.9GB), drive_d.v2i (9.4GB), drive_e.v2i(9.7GB),the totaloccupation of three filesis only 27GB ish.Doesit meanthat BESR2010can compress 170GB datato 27GB. Or isit something wrong with my BESR 2010 edition (maybe the reasonof trial version)? Or other reasons...??? We are currentlyusing a backup exec 12.5 version whichhas a dreadfully slow speed to do backup, while the 2010 seems to have got improved huge a lot. Please help. Thanks

Backup Exec System Recovery Manager 7.01 Database Size Growing
We are having an issue with our Backup Exec System Recovery Manager 7.01 database growing very large in size. I was wondering if there was a way to shrink or clean up this database to be smaller, as 30GB seems to be very large. Ihave looked at some of the database tools in the sub folder of sybase but had no luck knowing which one to use or how to use it properly This is the current file path for the database: E:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Backup Exec System Recovery\Manager\Services\Database\rmdb.db If you have any ideas please let me know. Thank you
Backup Jobs and groups change randomly almost on a daily basis
Backup Jobs and groups change randomly almost on a daily basis. I have 25 backup jobs, 10 groups (named after their divisional l unit), 250 computers and 10 servers. Say I bring a new computer into our network and install the Backup Exec System Recovery(8.5.5.33937)+Management Control(8.5.5.34379)(With user interface) from https://myserver:8443/axis/DownloadCenter;jsessionid=379E52B5061A2F06A8B551707BAB7833?type=getinstallers.Then I assign a group and backup job(s) via SBESR Manager. A few days later when I checkbackup job, properties via the SBESR Manager some of the Groups and backup job have changed. Question: Any Idea what may cause this? Do you have a tool that can be used to clean up our SBESR Manager database? There has been approximately 40 computers removed from our network that were not marked as unmanaged computers. Thanks in advance. -FrankSQL writer error: Backup type 5 not supported BESR 8.5.1
