Configuration Backup Exec 2014 V-Ray for Exchange 2013 & SQL Server 2012
Hi, We have Backup Exec 2014 V-Ray and two hyper-v virtual machine with Windows Server 2012 R2. On first machine is installed Exchange 2013 with 3 virtual disk: 1 - System, 2 - Database, 3 - Logs. On second machine is installed SQL Server 2012 with 3 virtual disk: 1 - System, 2 - Database, 3 - Logs. This is my configuration for backup job for this two virtual machine: Is the above configuration is correct for these applications? Is BackupExec 2014 correct backup SQL Server i Exchange with multiple virtual disk ? Will the integrity of the data be retained after the virtual machine has been restored? THX
Backup Exec - SQL servers won't save more than one backup
Hello guys, I'm kind of new to Backup Exec and was hoping to get some insights on an issue we're having. I did a quick research but found nothing relevant to the case. we're using BE 15 to backup several physical and virtual servers, all are working fine except SQL servers. All servers are scheduled for daily backup, and if we're to restore any server, all restore points are there (around 15 days back), while all SQL servers on BEhas only one single backup recordto restore from, the last backup taken (from previous day). please note that we tried both full and incremental with the same result, a single restore point for the day before. I appreciate any help or suggestions! let me know if you need more info. thank you guys!
We Have MSSQL 2005 - Should We Upgrade to NetBackup 8.0 or 7.7.3 ?
We Have MSSQL 2005 - Should We Upgrade to NetBackup 8.0 or 7.7.3 ? I'm preparing to upgrade our NetBackup servers as our current version (v7.6.1.2) is EOSL. However, I have a problem. We are still gradually migrating our databases from an MSSQL Server 2005 cluster to a new MSSQL 2014 cluster. This process will take months and the NetBackup upgrade cannot wait. I'm aware that MSSQLServer 2005 is not supported in NetBackup beyond v7.6.1.2. Worse still is it's running on Win2003SP2, which is, of course, also not supported. I am proposing to go ahead and upgrade our NetBackup servers to v8.0 in the meantime, and keep the NetBackup Client on our SQL Server 2005 cluster at v7.6.1.2. Alternatively, I could upgrade the NetBackup servers to v7.7.3 and keep the NetBackup Client on our SQL Server 2005 cluster at 7.6.1.2. So my questions are: 1. Would this work ? Would our existing database and transaction log backup policies still work? 2. If it would work, which NetBackup version would you recommend, v7.7.3 or v8.0 ? I'm leaning towards v8.0 myself and a Symantec / Veritas support engineer told me yesterday it is the generally more stable of the two. Please note that the fact that we still use Win2003 and MSSQL2005 is a matter which is largely beyond my control, so please don't post replies telling me about the risks this poses to our organisation - I already know and we're working on it.
