Ignoring Stub Files
Can we filter our Backup Policy based on file size. Regardless of whether or not it is a stub file. Can we backup files ONLY greater than 8k? or by file creation date. Currently we have a process that we purchased (Rainfinity from EMC) that takes images once a month and stores the image on lower cost file system and leaves a stub file that is 8k in size. When I run a full backup the policy sees the 8k and backs up the file. Which is great but the stub file is 8k the actual file is larger and has to be retrieve from the lower cost disk which is very slow so my 1TB area takes days to backup to tape because of the slow retrieval speed. Yes EMC can replicate the data to another area but because of the cost this is not an option at this time
Accelerator for a VMWare Backup Policy with AIR
Hello Experts, I am using NBU 7.7.3. I have a VMWare policy querying a cluster for an annotation to backup some clients. This policy has 4 schedules. Each Schedule has override policy storage selection checked with a corresponding AIR (Automated Image Replication) SLP's as the selection. The Storage selected in the SLP is an EMC DataDomain Storage unit (Using OST Plugin) setup as a Source for AIR. Attached some screenshots. With this setup, Should the 'Use Accelarator' Option be available for selection on the policy? Currently I see it grayed out.
Invalid signature
Ok, I have seen a lot of articles and discussions on the topic, but I cannot seem to make headway. I have had this issue since BE 2010 R3, but I recently upgraded to 2014 and still have the same issue, different error code. I have an EMC Isilon Cluster with IQ 6000x nodes. running OneFS 7. We recently got new VNX storage and now I would like to make the old cluster the backup location. Upon creating the new VM server (2012 R2), I created a new service account in the domain, added it to my super users group, installed all software under that account on the server. Set that account as the BESA while setting up BE 2014. I went into the NTFS permissions and confirmed the super users had full access, and went into OneFS and made sure the super users also had full write abilities in the smb permissions. The super users group is also a local administrator of the server. Here is what I am getting. Some times upon trying to create the disk in BE, It tells me my UNC path is incorrect. I go to windows explorer and copy the path and paste it and still get the error. If I close out of BE and come back in, it may accept the path, but once I get to the 'finish' and attempt to finalize I get an "invalid signature" error and cannot finish the set up. Checking in event veiwer, the error isn't really too helpful.

The growth trajectory of Symantec’s backup appliance business demonstrates that customers believe in our vision and the value of our solutions. IDC tracks the backup appliance market and calls it the Purpose Built Backup Appliance (PBBA) market. Over the last 3 years, Symantec went from 0% market share to 38% in the Integrated PBBA segment.
