Backupexec 2014 Verify Job very slow
Hello Community I have got an Storage of 2 TB on a Windows 2012 Server. (Storage Pool, Parity, 1 Volume) My Exchange Server should be backed up there. But after the job finishes the verfiy job will never end. Same for the catalog job. It seems not able to finish the job correctly and fails after a while (22+ houres.) The exchange Server ist not big (around 140 Gb). With BE 2012 this worked fine. Please help me out here. Tipps allready done: Seperate Verify jobs Changed storage from GPT to MBR (Suggestion from Symantec) Delayed catalog not an Exchange backup updated Agent No matter what I change, the Verify or Catalog will fail. Runs around (0.03 MB per Minute. The Backup runs smoothly with 1400 MB/min) On my secound storage (Windows 2008 R2) the backup runs perfekt. Any help is welcome. Cheers
How do I use remaining space on an existing disk for Backup Exec Disk Storage?
Hi. I have a disk that I use to store some backups from another process (copies of snapshots from some important VMs). I would like to use the free space on this drive for a Backup Exec disk-based storage container. I've decided 1,200 GB will be sufficient for my non-BUE files, so Backup Exec can have whatever's left. When I try to create the storage in Backup Exec, Backup Exec screws the math up somehow, thinks the drive is full when it's not, and won't let me write backups to it. Here's the drive before touching it with Backup Exec (2012, fully patched): Here's the files currently on the drive that need to stay there: So I fire up Backup Exec, go to the storage tab, click "configure storage", choose "disk-based storage", then "disk storage". I'll name the new storage, then tell it to use a local disk, pick the right disk in the dropdown (L: 1,121 GB Free): Click "Next", and there's nothing else to configure: This is what gets created. Notice there's a "Low disk space" warning, despite greater than half the disk being free. How doez I math? Here's the details sub-tab of the newly-created storage. Everything looks OK, except that the low disk warning should happen at 25% free: Now, I'd like to use the "Disk space to reserve for non-Backup Exec operations" setting to tell Backup Exec that I'm going to be using 1,200GB of this drive for other things. Apply that, and all the numbers in the "Statistics" section seem OK: Go back out to the summary, and there's no space free. Funny thing is, the Low Disk Space warning has disappeared: So, how do I do this? It seems Backup Exec never passed grade school math, and is subtracting the total used capacity on the drive from the "Total backup storage" number it comes up with (I think by subtracting the reserved number from the total capacity of the disk). It must think "I just created this brand new disk storage, and there's 900GB of used stuff on the drive. Must be backups in my freshly-created, empty, disk-based storage area. DERP!!!" Has anyone had any luck with this? Thanks!
BackUp Exec with NetApp E-series Storage Array
Hi, I have a Windows 2k8 R2 server on which BackUp Exec is installed and the server is connected to a NetApp E-series 2600 storage array through SAS. BUE is not recognizing the storage array and I would like to perform a backup of some volumes on the storage array to other volumes on the array. I got a warning message that tells "BUE did not detect an installed H/W provider that is required for this option. Install the vendor supplied virtual disk service H/W provider to each of the storage arrays that you want to use with the BUE". I wanted to know if my storage is supported by BUE and if so, what are the workarounds to get around this issue. Thanks, Vidya Suryanarayana
how to identify what tapes a backup set is spanning?
Hi, I have recently taken over a system that backs-up using BE to a tape drive with 21 tapes. I have some new tapes in the drive labled as scratch media but the jobs are on hold asking for new media and not using the scratch media. I want to know what tapes each job is set to use as I have a feeling the the jobs have grown to a point where I will need to allocate more tapes per a job. If this question appears simple then please answer it as reading symantecs support articles is a bit like a blunt pencil TIA ProggerMedia and Devices - 12.5
I changed the capacity of the media files from 4 gig to 2 gig. The backups (to disk)ran great until I received a Storage device error on a request to write data. Idid a test run on the backup and itfailed the capacity check. I wasn't sure what to do, so I increased the media files back to 4 gig. The test ran fine and the proceeding backup ran without error. I'm new to this, but I thought that the backup jobwould automatically create new media files. If not, how do I create new backup media? Thank you.
