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 Thanks

Removing File from Backups per Legal Order
Is there a way to extract a file from backup sets permanently? I don't want to be able to recover the file ever but can't lose the older backups.

Best Practices for ClearCase Backups?
When running ClearCase on a Hyper-V VM, what are some best-practice considerations when using Backup Exec 2012? What Symantec agent licenses are required for Hyper-V backups? Do agents need to be installed on the VM or just the host? What pre/post command scripts should be run? Are there special considerations when backing up vob repositories? Is file locking necessary when using snapshot technology? Does Backup Exec work well with IBM's Multisite for disaster recovery? ...and any other tips on either CleaseCase or Hyper-V backups.

Ports to open for BE10d and Remote Agent
I have recently had to move my DB server which is a Solaris 9 OS box off ofdomain "A"and on todomain "B". The BE10d is installed on a Windows Server 2003 R2 EE SP2 and still lives on domain "A". The problem is now that the DB server is on a different domain from the BE server,data on the DB serveris not getting backed up. I know that certain ports need to be opened, but I don't know which ones. I think I have seen something about 10000, 6101, and 50000 - 50025. Can someone please help me with this old 10d version since Symantec would rather upgrade me than to answer this question. I'm not going to upgrade this because the hardware is getting upgraded in another 3 to 4 months from now and it would not be cost effective.

Can I backup just "C" drive with System Recovery 2010?
Hi, We run Backup System Recovery 2010 and I currently backup all the drives on our Windows 2008 SBS domain controller. I think I could restore with just the Operating System Partition (C drive), i would like your opinions/advice to see if this is a viable solution? Here are the details: Physical Box (not virtualised) C drive contains Operating System Partition E contains only Exchange Partition L contains user data like Excel, Word, PowerPoint docs ect. It also contatains users redirected folders. S swap file W Wsus drive C,E, L are all backed up everynight using symantec backup exec 2010.

Problem backup from Symantec Backup Exec to HP Ultrium LTO tape
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. Final error category: Backup Device Errors For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-34029 Backup- D: Data Storage device "HP Ultrium 400" reported an error on a request to write data to media. Error reported: Kan de opdracht niet uitvoeren door een fout in een I/O-apparaat. V-79-57344-34029 - A hardware error occurred." The Server (DC) is a Windows Server 2003 Small Business ServerPremium R2. The Backup device is a HP Ultium 2-SCSI The system Event Log notifies (in order of sequence, first error 15, then information 7036 en then 3 times error 7, made anonymously "xxxx") , as listed below: Bythe way / and maybe connected to the problem: - Strangly we don't get notifications by mail although is is implied.. - Also if I place a cleaning cadrigde the Symantec Software still mention that there's no cleaning since 4 years orso. -We had toreplace the battery ofthe SCSI cache.We also replaced the cache itself -Later on, the backupdid function sometimes. - I've tried using less weared tapes, but the problem remained. - If I retry a backup (Run now a scheduled backup), the same amout of bytes are counted to the backuptape (43.280.832) - All lights on the front of the HP server are green (oké I'll guess) Type gebeurtenis:Fout Bron van gebeurtenis:hplto Categorie van gebeurtenis:Geen Gebeurtenis-id15 Datum:19-10-2011 Tijd:1:00:37 Gebruiker:n.v.t.

Compression wrong
Working with symantec backup exec 12.0 for a while already, one week I am having trouble backing up LTO tape-dell, it starts back up and asks for second tape, as if the space of the tape is finished. I believe he is not doing the compression of the files correctly, someone could help me?
