BESR 2010 Offsite confusion & jobs not running. (RDX included)
Hi Folks, I've got a lot of BESR's of various versions out there on a whole host of servers, most run with the following setup. 1tb+ USB HDD which is the backup target, and a RDX drive for the offsite target. For a long time I've thought the backups work perfectly, apart from the odd error in the middle of the night about consolodation which said it can't do it because some recovery points are missing, but they did exist. I found out what this was and will be explained shortly. What I have found is that the offsites are working, but the recovery points are being split over the multiple RDX drives and if you try and restore from one it complains that the recovery points are missing - which they are, they're on the other RDX drives! The software is quite happy though as it HAS copied it to the offsite. The USB drive for the backup target has everything on it and works perfectly, restores systems fully and everything.I hope I'm making sense so far. At the moment I do a new recovery base every week, so worst case I can restore using the offsite but depending on the cartridge the server may get restored back to a week or two ago - this is pretty bad! Is there any way to get around this? I've tried making two jobs, one for the permanent backup drive that runs a new base each week, incrementals during the week and a new one for the next week coming. Again, works perfectly. And a2nd job to run a nightly backup (independant recovery point) which on a few servers has run once, sometimes twice, and never again. (If this worked I'd be happy with it) I'm thoroughly confused! Ultimately I'd like the offsite RDX to contain a full recovery point + incrementals like I expected it to, if this is actually possible. Can anyone shed any light on what is going on, or what *I'm* doing wrong? Read the manual from cover to cover too and seems like I'm doing it right. Many thanks in advance! Ian
SSR 2011 - can not restore running system
We have a Hyper-V server HOSTA (Windows Server 2008 Std SP2 x64) with 2 guests SBSA (Windows SBS 2008 SP2 x64) and APPSA (Windows Server 2008 Std SP2 x64). Both SBSA and APPSA have Symantec System Recovery 2011 (Build 10.0.0.39952) installed, and backup to share on HOSTA and Offsite to a FTP location. The Offsite location has HOSTB (Windows Server 2008 R2 Std SP1 x64) with Symantec System Recovery 2011 (Build 10.0.0.39952) installed. When the Restoring SBSA or APPSA it fails every time in all ways we have tried: Convert sv2i to Hyper-V VHD fail: Converts ok, then on start of VM guest runs the mini setup, then updates, then randomly reboots. after that we receive the stop 7b error, But the data on the .vhd can be mounted and accessed. Create Hyper-V guest and use System Recovery Disk fails: Towards the end of the restore a "Recover My Computer Wizard" box pops up with the message: Error EBAB0013: A test that safeguards the integrity of the program failed unexpectedly. CHECK failed, Can::ReadFileFrameReal: .\Can.cpp(826): Read Failure. Error EBAB0013: A test that safeguards the integrity of the program failed unexpectedly. CHECK failed, Can::ReadFileFrameReal: .\Can.cpp(826): Read Failure. with an Ok button that takes you to the menu screen. Convert to VMware Server Disk fails: The convert stops at 99% with 3 seconds to go (With or without "Run Windows Mini-Setup") Convert s2vi using VMware Player 3.1 fails: Very slow reading the s2vi file and then I enter the password and straight away I get the error from VMware Player: Failed to open virtual machine: Failed to query source for information. We have tried a One off recovery point on-site and taken it to the off-site location and receive the same issues. A convert to vhd of APPSA on APPSA: converts ok, moved to HOSTA. on boot of the restored guest APPSA we receive: Windows Boot Manager Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2. choose your language settings, and then click “Next.” 3. click “Repair your computer.” If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance. status: Oxc000000f Info: Windows failed to load because the NL5 data is missing, or corrupt. Please can someone suggest any ideas
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 Granular Restore Option
Hi I am trialling the latest version of Symantec Backup Exec System Server (Edition) 2010. When browsing to a sv2i for a exchange mail folder the temp file that Symantec creates to mount the file is becoming to large for the size of my C:\Drive which is loacated - C:\Documents and Settings\james_chudley\Local Settings\Temp. I can mount sv2i files for regular non-exchange drives and am able to browse folders and files, I can do the same for the sv2i file above but am un-able to mount the exchange mail e-mail folders. Is there a way of changing where Symantec Backup Exec creates these temp files? I have pleanty of space on other drives on the same server which I can use for these files. Any ideas? J.Chudley
Kann keine Wiederherstellungspunkt-Sätze erstellen
Die Option "Wiederherstellungspunkte-Satz" ist immer ausgegraut und ich kann sie nicht auswählen! Es steht immer die Meldung darunter: Die Option Für Wiederherstellungspunkt-Sätze is deaktiviert, da einem vorhandenen Backup-Auftrag für einen Wiederherstellungspunkt-Satz bereits ein ausgewähltes LauFwerk zugewiesen wurde. Es kann nur jeweils ein Wiederherstellungspunkt-Satz Für jedes LauFwerk festgelegt werden. Habe schon alle Backups gelöscht damit ich diese Option anwählen kann aber egal was ich mache ich kann sie nicht aktivieren! Bitte um Hilfe! Anbei ein Screenshot
BESR 2010 License
Hi All, We have one BESR 2010 License to backup our existing Exchange server 2007. I have setup a test server which I want to install BESR 2010 on and use that to convert the backup images to VHD file, it will not backup but will just do the conversion... Question is : Whether I can use that ONE License to activate the BESR 2010 trial I have on this test machine so that I can convert backup images to vhd almost every day, as I said - it won't backup, just do the conversion or granular recovery of exchange when required. Would that de-activate our existing BESR 2010 install on our Production Exchange Box or would it still carry on to work ? When I received the Symantec Disc folder, it also has something called BESR desktop one or three free licenses (would have to double check). Would be grateful for your input on this Kind Regards
