Backup Exec 21.4 - change SQL version, unable to create SDR iso
Backup exec 21.4 runs on SQL 2014 express 32bit. Server 2025. Is there a way to create a new database on SQL express 64bit? I installed SQL express 2022 64bit but I think the database is still on SQL 2014 express 32bit. ADK is installed but Backup exec doesn't see it so I am unable to create a SDR iso. Thanks
Force NBSERVER setting in an MSSQL Intelligent policy batch file
Hello I have a new Netbackup 5250 appliance that is taking backups for a Production and Lab environment. The Management Interface of the Appliance is configured in the Production environment. The Appliance has different NICs configured on the Prod and Lab networks for backup payload data. I have a problem with Lab MSSQL intelligent policies that wants to use the Production Management Interface for backups. Since the Lab network does not have access to the Prod network, the Lab MSSQL client cannot be backed up using the Management Interface of the Appliance. I was able to grab the .bch file that is auto-generated on the client to see the NBSERVER setting and it is the Appliance Prod hostname. So my question is, is it possible to force/override the NBSERVER setting in the autogenerated .bch file for Intelligent MSSQL Policies? The same client is able to be backed-up in a regular Windows policy since it is using the right hostname of the Appliance. Example in the auto-generated .bch file: Instead of, NBSERVER = "Prod5250hostname" (this is the autogenerated config right now) I want NBSERVER = "Lab5250hostname" (same appliance but different network interface) I could create a DNS entry in the Lab DNS server to point to the IP of the Appliance Lab interface, but I would like to avoid that. Thank you.
Backup timestamp not getting updated in SQL Studio for VMware SQL aware backups
Hello, We are taking a SQL aware VMware snapshot backup for a SQL VM and the backups/restores are all runnign fine. But the timestamp for the backup date in the SQL studio is not getting updated. It is still reflecting an old date when it was backed up via Avamar which is stopped now as we moved to netbackup and used snapshot backups. Has anyone any idea how to fix this? How can NBU inform SQL that the DB has been backed up and it can update the timestamp? NBU version - 8.3 SQL version - Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise 2014 DBA is running the below query to fetch the backup timestamp: SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(100), SERVERPROPERTY('Servername')) AS Server, msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name, MAX(msdb.dbo.backupset.backup_finish_date) AS last_db_backup_date FROM msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupset ON msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily.media_set_id = msdb.dbo.backupset.media_set_id WHERE msdb..backupset.type = 'D' GROUP BY msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name ORDER BY msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name and it doesnt provide the updated backup time for the backup taken by Netbackup.
SharePoint SQL Cluster
Hello, I'm currently trialing Veritas and am having issues getting it to backup our Sharepoint DB's as they are in a cluster. It says that before you can backup or restore, you must install the appropriate Backup Exec. Both servers in the are setup and have the client installed. It is looking for the cluster name. I have configured the sqlcli on the Veritas server for the cluster name but still no luck. Can anyone assist as to have I can get the backups to see the cluster name? If I cannot get Veritas to work with our Sharepoint setup I will have to look at another product. Cheers
Installing 20.4 unable to authenticate with the user and password
Veritas support has been absymal on this. I have been speaking with several technicians for the past two weeks and none of them have provided any resolutions. I am trying to update Backup Exec 16 to 20.4 as standalone. The serever passes most of the enviroment checks successfully but has a warning that the current user does not have permissions to log on to SQL server instances that have a designation of '**' even though the account i am logged in tohas full permissions to the SQL database, can act as part of the OS, log in as service account, and create tokens. The Backup Exec SQL Upgrade Check will randomly fail. sometimes it does, soemtimes it doesnt. I'm unsure why because the SQL instance is within the compatibility range at 2008 R2S2 and cannot be upgraded. If i make it to the start instal screen, it will refuse the domain credentials we used to set up the backup server initially, suceed with local adin credentials, run for 30 minutes then fail again saying it was unable to authenticate with the user and password provided, which have been tested in RDP. Please someone help.
