Server Agent out of date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 To Install the most recent updates, on the Backup and restore tab, right click the remote computer that is out of date, and then select Update. 1. There is no indication on what server agent is out of date 2.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 Does this mean they are out of date and need to be updated? 4.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 Exec 2014 SP2 – Release Notes and Technical Information

I've recently migrated my jobs from BE 2010 to BE 2012. All went fine until recently, when I've changed the different Linux backup jobs. I'm guessing that -seen 'follow symbolic links' is no longer an option in BE 2012- it took the 2010 settings and migrated everything correctly. But when I've changed the job BE stored it in a 2012 format, stripping the old config. Is there a way to reactivate this, currently I'm only backing up a file instead of all the directories referenced by the symbolic link ? If contacted Symantec several times, spent some time on the phone with a technician, but they did not come up with a solution. best regards798Views4likes2CommentsBackup Exec 2010 R3 questions & issues
Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums and I'm new to backup exec so please excuse any newbie questions. I recently inherited backup exec due to people leaving my group. Its completely new to me so I had some questions. 1.) How many jobs should be ran at once within backup exec? We have 35-40 jobs and usually 4-6 jobs are running at the same time. This really seems to slow the speed of the backups. Is it normal for people to have their backupe exec setup like this or would it be better to look into another backup server to help split the load? 2.) Our main user server contains about 10TB of data. Its critical this gets backed up however it takes a very long time to back up all of this data and lately it fails due to running into corrupt data. I found a registry fix that allows it to continue backing up if it finds corrupt data. Is this a smart move or is best to avoid this "fix"? 3.) Are there any major things I should look at to help improve performance? Right now we are running R3 SP1, is it worth updating to SP2? Thanks ahead of time, any help would be greatly appreciated.Solved669Views4likes2CommentsCredential problems - Production Backups not working any more
Hi all, we have been granted the role of keeping an existing BACKUP EXEC 2012 installation despite of being unexperienced due to administrator replacement. i.e. we have no experience on this. The problem is the following: After the last patch installation on BACKUP EXEC 2012 (because someone suggested us to do so to install the remote agent on a linux server to backup) we restarted the BACKUP EXEC server and EVERY backup that had been working so far prior to this patch upgrade stopped working. The message that appears is: Job Failed. The job failed with the following error: Authentication failed on connection to the server. Make sure that the user account has the appropriate permissions and that the password was typed correctly. V-79-57344-6506 5 We have set a new password on Configuration and settings - logon accounts - manage logon accounts and when we try to select the samba folders to make a backup this is what we get: So we don't know how to carry on. Since this is the software we make production backups with we desperately need to fix this problem and make it work. Any help would be most welcome. Thanks in advance !!!Solved876Views3likes3CommentsBackup Exec Version identification

I tried downloading Backup exec 2012_14_Sp1 from file connect There are 5 files 3 MultiPlatforms_Multilingual.zip’s Backup_Exec_2012_14.0_SP1_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual.zip.1of2 14.0 SP1 Backup_Exec_2012_14.0_SP1_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual.zip.2of2 14.0 SP1 Backup_Exec_2012_14.0_SP1_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual.zip.cmd 14.0 SP1 And 2 SP1_Recovery_Disk_32bit and 64_bit So I downloaded the file to a directory and it seems all 3 files are the same name and over write each other? Backup_Exec_2012_14.0_SP1_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual.zip.zip? So I downloaded each file to a new directory and renamed each file extension like on the download page .zip.1of2 and .zip.2of2 and .zip.cmd then I copied all file to a new directory and tried to un zip and I get error not archive file? Don’t know what to do next so I called support They told me to rename the first file to .ISO I asked what about the other 2 files he didn’t know and decided to escalate the issue and sent me to support and they will call Can’t they just have some instruction on the down load page? Oh yes I did rename Backup_Exec_2012_14.0_SP1_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual.zip.1of2 To Backup_Exec_2012_14.0_SP1_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual.iso And got garbage not readable disk!
