Hyper V guest only showing shares in resources
BE 2014 Sp 2 Host Hyper-V server 2012 with 4 server 2012 guests. All have the latest updates. All agents have been updated and are advertising to the backup server. 3 of the guests show all resources while the file server only shows the shares. No other resources are showing up. I would like to backup only the shares on the file server, but selecting the shares causes the job to fail with "resourses cannot be found" Credentials at the server level pass, but fail for the shares. Backing up the whole guest from the host works. On other servers I am able to chose the volume and select the shares from there. but on this server no volumes are showing up. The offending server also takes a long time to show the shares when editing the backup job (10 min) Am at a loss and would appreciate any and all help.Solved1.9KViews0likes7CommentsV-79-57344-38366 Backup Exec 20.6 12TB VMDK
Hey all, I've finally got all my backups working correctly EXCEPT a legacy drive inside a VMware guest server. I had excluded this single VMDK from the nightly backup job and have set up a single one-time backup of this drive as a seperate job. However I cannot get the one-time job to succeed. The job runs for the entirety of the 11.7TB of data inside that 12TB drive but results in the error I included below. The job takes about 2 days to complete unsuccessfully. Currently the job is setup to use the same storage space as the pre-mentioned nightly backup job of this guest VM's other drives. So I know this isn't a permissions issue. I'm assuming as well, since I simply copied the nightly job and then unselected the drives from that job and added the single 12TB drive that the configuration is likely not the issue.

The line "The new features in 6.7 or later are not supported.", seems of note as the GUESTVM I'm trying to backup is on a ESXi Server 6.7. But again, that same GUESTVM does backup correctly if I exclude that one 12TB vmdk. My backup exec server is on an older ESXi 5.5 host running a Windows Server 2012R2 guest. The GUESTVM I'm backing up is a Windows Server 2016 install. I notice that in the \\UNC\PATH\TO\STORAGE location when the job starts, it creates 8 GUESTVM_1-000002 vmdk that look to split. The first VMDK reaches 1.98TB and then it starts filling the second. This one ends up around 700GB when the job ends. Please help!8.5KViews0likes7CommentsVSR 21 backup failure every 4-5 Days
Hi, Several weeks ago, we installed VSR 21 SP2 on a new Win 10 Pro 20H2 PC The PC has one 256 GB SSD NVMe. Last week we upgraded VSR to VSR 21 SP3 which supports Win 10 20H2. We run a VSR job daily on this machine with new recovery points created twice a month. Since the original install weeks ago backups fail approx. every 4-5 days withe following errors: "Error EC8F1780: Cannot successfully reconcile changes since last session. Error EC8F1771: Cannot enumerate the current drives on this system. Error E0050001: (UMI:V-281-3215-6016)" We were hoping the upgrade to VSR 21 SP3 would resolve the issue, but it made no difference. The error continues daily until the machine is rebooted and then backups run successfully again for 4-5 days. We have uninstalled/reinstalled VSR a couple of times with no change in the error pattern. For many months, we have VSR 21 installed on several other Win 10 Pro computers and we have not experienced this error on any of them. Any help is appreciated.

Hello Guys, I've got Problems with the length of Verifies colliding with new Backups on the next Day. I don't want to cancel them, I just want to know how long the so called "Availability Window" accutally exists. I hope you Guys understand my Problem. Some advice would be lovely.695Views0likes1CommentManaging the Offsite Backup
I think this issue applies to the offsite backup copy for SSRS versions 2013 and later. I've been using SSRS since it was a Norton product and have continued using it all the way to VRS 21. I have a NAS share as my off-site location and it works great, but the copies just grow endlessly. I'd like to be able to prune out old offsite copies, but there is no management UI within the app. Sure, I can manage the local backup locations and set expriations on the recovery points, and perform file actions like consolidating and what not. But there is no similar UI to manage the off-site copies! So my offsite destination has grown to 9TB and I'd really like to keep it under control! Yes I can just delete the copies loaded up to the offsite location, but I was wondering if/why/when/how VRS could or would offer options within it to manage the offsite locations. Sure the app will strat to delete when the off-site location gets full, but lets be honest, we don't ever let our NAS get full! That's like letting our temp locatiosn fill with log files and crash the database! LOL! Or maybe, I'm just missing it and the UI has these capabilities that I've overlooked for 10 years or more... So I post the question here. Ideas? Comments? Tips? I welcome them. Thanks...729Views0likes1Commenthow can you take a backup from mysql /postgresql with backup exec 16
