HOW TO install BackupExec 2010 agent on Debian (RALUS)
I hope this post will be useful to many people (please vote for it or mark it as solution if it helps you). Installing directly RALUS on Debian will not always work. First problem : ../perl/Linux/bin/perl: No such file or directory Second problem : at the end "was not successfully installed" and "impossible to add VRTSralus to (server)" And some others that will get solved when following my solution This is a simple way to install it and avoid these (and other) problems : 1. (optional) Create a folder to keep all RALUS files and copy the archive into it : mkdir /root/BE mkdir /root/BE/RALUS2010 mv RALUS_RMALS_RAMS-2896.9.tar.gz /root/BE/RALUS2010/ cd /root/BE/RALUS2010 2. Unpack the archive provided by Symantec tar xzf RALUS_RMALS_RAMS-2896.9.tar.gz 3. Stop the RALUS service if it is already installed and runnig /etc/init.d/VRTSralus.init stop 4. Very important, if you are under a 64 bit Linux you have to this Extract debian package : tar xzf RALUS64/pkgs/Linux/VRTSralus.tar.gz Install debian package : dpkg -i VRTSralus-13.0.2896-0.x86_64.deb Start installation : ./RALUS64/installralus 5. But if you are under a 32 bit Linux you have to this (I didn't tested under 32 bits) : Extract debian package : tar xzf pkgs/Linux/VRTSralus.tar.gz Install debian package : VRTSralus-13.0.2896-0.i386.deb Start installation : ./RALUSx86/installralus or ./installralus 6. Be sure to answer all questions correctly especially the one about the host server (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX), you must give the IP of the Backup Exec server. 7. Do a restart of the RALUS Backup Exec agent, and it should say "[ OK ]" /etc/init.d/VRTSralus.init start I hope it will help ! Send me questions if you have other problems... Denis P.S. Tested with Debian 5.0.3 P.P.S. If you still have some problems : A) If you get "ERROR: VXIF_HOME is invalid. It must point to the root of VxIF. Exiting ...", simply edit ./RALUS64/installralus, and change line 3 : from : VXIF_HOME=../;export VXIF_HOME to : VXIF_HOME=/root/BE/RALUS2010/;export VXIF_HOME B) If you get "./RALUS64/installralus: line 50: ../perl/Linux/bin/perl: No such file or directory", simply edit ./RALUS64/installralus, and change line 50 : from : ../perl/$OS/bin/perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME -I../perl/$OS/lib/$PERL_VER ../installralus.pl $* to : ../perl/$OS/bin/perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME -I../perl/$OS/lib/$PERL_VER ./installralus.pl $* or to : perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME ./installralus.pl $* (to be clear, remove one dot in front of"/installralus.pl", keep only one dot instead of two) C) If the installation is sucessful but VRTSralus refuses to start, launch /opt/VRTSralus/bin/beremote –-log-console to see the error. If you get error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory you simply need to install the package : Under Debian 6.0.3 : apt-get install libstdc++5 (Thanks to RockwellMuseum)3.2KViews9likes17CommentsServer Agent out of date
I started seeing LiveUpdate Information About the agent for windows on at least one server does not have the most recent updates? To Install the most recent updates, on the Backup and restore tab, right click the remote computer that is out of date, and then select Update. 1.There is no indication on what server agent is out of date 2.After right clicking on each server on some I can see Update is grayed out and on some its clickable 3.Does this mean they are out of date and need to be updated? 4.What happen if I update the server will I have to reboot? 5.The server is Windows 2003 with exchange 2003 running on a cluster serves with 2 nodes 6.It seem each node might need the upgrade and the cluster seems to need 7.I am assuming after I update the active node the cluster will be up-to-date 8.Should I manually run LiveUpdate on the backup Exec server monthly and after an update I should update the clients?1.2KViews5likes18CommentsBackup an Exchange 2013 DAG without CNO/CAAP

I'm considering rolling out the Backup Exec Management Plugin for VMware with the vSphere C# client. However need to establish the minimum set of permissions required by a user to effectively use the plug-in. Backup Exec Sevice Account has permissions required to backup and restore virtual machines, as per https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH129645.html However we wouldn't normally run the vSphere client under this account. Users with virtual machine power user role, won't know Backup Exec service account details, nor will they have create / edit custom attribute permissions http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1005720 So does one have to be a backup administrator with knowledge of the BEX service account AND VMware Admin rights to use this plug-in ? Or is there a way to provide it and the details on VM protection status to normal non priviledged virtual machine power users?

Basic Scenario ============ Windows 2008 Physical Server running BackupExec 2014 SP1 ESX 5.0 Host managed by Virtual Centre (on VM) The Backup server is running on a backup LAN with complete separation from Data traffic, but can communicate with VC /and the ESX Host over this LAN and all names seem to resolve. Backup LAN 10.x.x.x Data LAN 15.x.x.x Things that work All over Backup LAN 10.x.x.x addresses Ping Backup server <-> Virtual Centre Ping Backup server <-> ESX Server Ping ESX host <-> backup server Ping Virtual Centre <-> Backup Server Backup of local devices on Backup server Backup of physical Host via Client Backup of FULL VM and granular index over SAN Transport Backup of VM via Client if extra NIC on Backup LAN is configured Restore of files via Client if extra NIC on Backup LAN is configured Issue When trying to restore FULL VM Image the wizard runs fine and allows me to brose all the required resource folders (Hosts / storage / network / Resource pools and folders) The job starts and contacts the VC and creates the VM shell as instructed on the correct host, confirms this - and then tries to establish a connection to transfer the data and according to the log files it decides to do this over the INCORRECT network. I have tried all sorts on name resolution checks as historically this has been issues on other locations but with no reward, so any suggestions on either troubleshooting or resolution – or is this never going to work with a separate Backup LAN ???

Hi Guys, We are running two Esxi VMware Hosts (HP DL 380 g6) with 10 guests VMs including File server, Exchange and MSSQL. I have installed Veeam Trial recently and it appears to be working well. However we are keen to know if BackupExec 2014 is right solution for us? I am intrested in knowing if Backup Exec supports: VMWare host Esxi and guests backup and instant restoration? How long it takes to recover / run from backup a VM in case of failure? Granular restoration of data , emails from within a guest VM? agentless backup solution for VMware? VMWare DR solution? Also, why Backup Exec 2014 may be better than Veeam Many Thanks Syed Mazhar2.1KViews3likes16CommentsOutlook pst files are locked by DLO

So... We are upgrading from BUE 10d and attempting to make 15 work. We have 10d installed on a 2003 server, while 15 is on a 2008. I have already learned the hard way that BUE 15 doesn't really like the old 10d catalog files. We have also figured out that we need to take steps to upgrade the BUE in steps to make the program run "smoothly". My question is... When we upgrade to 12, then to 2010 R3, do we need to inventory and catalog the tapes, or will the catalog files read and transfer nice like? We got the BUE 15 to find the old catalog files, but they are just folders with nothing in them, as 15 sees it. If we step up in increments, will our old catalog files be readable without any additional (horribly painful) steps? We have hundreds of tapes, so manually cataloging each isn't something we really want to do... at all... Thanks, JustinSolved712Views2likes2CommentsNew fresh install BE2010 r3, inventory new tape recognised as retired media , media type blank
