Restore wizard?
Next problem... I am now trying to do a restore and even this is not an easy task! When I start the restore wizard it lists all of the backup files, in no particular order, image attached. I now have to go through 1000 backup files one by one to see the contents to locate the latest backup of a file! Surely this cannot be right.Solved484Views8likes2CommentsNetwork setings missing from vm restore
We are currently busy performing a live DR test of all our prod servers consisting of 2003 and 2008 Windows servers. The 2003 servers restore no problem. The restore job for the 2008 servers also finish successfully. However when starting up the 2008 servers it no longer hav ethe same network settins that it had when being backed up. We ran a similar test last year following the same procedure in which all servers restored no problem. We are currently runing BackupExec 2010 R2. In the virtual environment the only thing which changed is that we upgeaded from ESX\ESXi 4.1 U1 to 4.1 U2 at which time all NICs were upgraded to vmxnet3. The NICs seem to have loaded with default settings. IP6 on and configured for DHCP as apposed to IP4 on with the original IP configured. Has anyone else experiance this or have an idea on how to resotre these 2008 servers without having to reconfigure all the network settings?Solved2.3KViews7likes4CommentsBackup Exec duplicate backup jobs malfunctioning
Hi, as per instructions from Symantec a while back I decided to use the Duplicate Backup Jobs in Backup Exec to make a copy of the last full when it ran to external storage. When it ran, instead of creating the individual files, it created BKF files which isn't what Symantec told me it would do. Also it gave a generic hardware error after it placed 26.1GB of data and the drive is a 2TB hard drive formatted with NTFS. The drive volume is still there. It is mounted on a USB 2.0 port on a Synology NAS. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to restore the files after the full runs. Do I attach a duplicate backup job or is there a way to attach a full restore? Thanks749Views6likes3Commentsmissing some bfk files - restore with some missing still?

Hello, I have some question about VMware backups: 1) If the virtual disk is 200 GB but just 100 GB are used, how much will be the the backup size? Can Backup Exec optimize the storage utilization without copying the empty blocks? 2) Can I make full synthetic backups using BLIB (Block Level Incremental Backups)? 3) Is BLIB compatible with GRT? On other words, can I restore single files or directory using BLIB incremental backups? ThanksSolved533Views5likes4Comments
