SQL Express 2008 R2 failing to install Server 2012 R2
Hi, brand new to Backup Exec 15. I suspect you would probably prefer to make this 3 different posts but it was hard enough finding the option to post this one. I remember the glory days of being able to call a person and have a factory person walk you though some things in 10-30mins and have your problem resolved. Aren't they trying to sell this to me??? Brand new installation on local machine only. One instance of SQL 2005 running but want new SQL 2008 R2 for this tool. 1. installation log does not indicate SQL 2008was installed but during installation the process took 10-20mins. Is there a way to check; it is not in my SQL server configuration manager and it does not appear in my "services" manager. Can I simply run a custom install described in the manual and force it on? Of course I am the admin; I builtthis box. If I force it on how do I point Backup Exec 15 to SQL 2008as that wasn't covered in the manual exactly. 2. I exported the encryption key to my local C drive and it is not there. Whats up whit that? *3. In configuration storage options I can not seem to get the Backup Exec 15 to permit me to add a local network storage optionas mybackup target. I can only get local storage,cloud storage, or tape. Am I to assume I should be installing the Backup Exec 15 on my target system and run the agent on the server I want backed up? Where was that topology example on the website? This is day one of my 60 day trial. This is the feature advertised on the website and in the manual I need. 4. Any other suggestions known that permit incremental backups to network storage or file shares where the program runson the server being backed up. Server 2012 R2's built in solution pushes a whole new backup everyday and writes over the existing; realy lame.Append media problems, PLEASE HELP!!
Hi guys, Trying to backup 2 servers to 1 tape when seems to back them up fine but it overwrites the 1st server when backing up the 2nd server, so only end up with the 2nd server backed up. I think I'm doing it right but would lilke some clarification if at all possible please. I've got my 1st server (Job) set to "Overwrite Media" and the 2nd Server (Job) set to "append to Media, overwrite if not appendable media is available". In the backup settings/storage I've just set this morning for tonight, I've set it to "Partial protection" and unticked the prompt option. Before it was set to NONE but before that it was on FULL protection and wouldn't backup because it complained it was protected. The backup sets are set as followed; Protection period - 3 weeks Append period - Infinite - Allow append I had the backup sets like this in 2010 and backing up to a NAS box which seemed to work fine and itkept the data until the protection period had expired. If I backed up any other data before the expriation dateit just added to it instead ofoverwriting it. I would like to backup both servers on 1 tape and keep about 2-3 weeks worth backups before overwriting anything, what am I doing wrong? Many thanks, James
