I'm at a customer, who has the folling problem: when I plan a new report (i.e. "overnight summary") and select all servers to be included in the report, I can save the report schedule. But when I edit it again, some of the servers are not selected anymore. I can tick their checkboxes again and save the report und they get unchecked every time. This is not depending on the report, but happens on all reports where servers can be selected. And the dropped servers are always the same ones. Does someone have the slightest idea, what the reason for this behaviour could be? Any help is appreciated. Environment: BE Appliance with SP2, other servers are mixed 2003/2008, everything is english. All the best from Austria, Oliver557Views4likes0Comments

BackupExec Appliance 3600R2 with CASO
The existing environment now that i have a BackupExec Server attached to the fiber tape library and i purchased Backup Exec appliance and CASO for the Physical server to enable the Physical server to manage the appliance and delegates jobs to it. I get an error everytime i tried to add the backup exec appliance as MBES for the Physical server. I want to double check if this solution is applicable and if anyone has any ideas regarding the steps have to be done to perform this solution.

Unknown Server - Server Farm 1 appears....
Hello everyone! This might be an easy question and might be basic stuff but I'd like to confirm what i think i know. Setup: Symantec 3600 Appliance, VMware 5.1 - Server 2003 R2 (32bit)runningSharepoint 3.0. So I added my sharepoint server to the list of servers to backup. When the server appears I get another aditional server listed called Server Farm 1. So first question is, 1. Why did this server farm appear when I added my sharepoint server? 2. The stuff listed under the server farm 1is the same stuff listed under my sharepoint server under Microsoft SharePoint Resources, Do I need to backup both? Can I delete the Server Farm 1 and still fully backup the Sharepoint server? Thanks for reading!Solved728Views1like1CommentHelp with backing up VM's
Hello people who are reading this. Here is whats going on. I have 3 servers running vmware ESXi5.1and vCenter controlling them.I havea brand newSymantec 3600 Appliance. All the VM's are stored on a SAN connected by iSCSI. Now the old way I've been backing up the VM's is by installing the Agent for windows on the VM's and backing them up like that. Everything works fine like that. Since I now have the 3600, I shouldhave the V-Ray edition of agents for VMware. (Understand that I know nothing about the V-Ray edition other than they backup virtural machines better)I have everything from AD toSQL to Exchange and Sharepoint running on VM's. (Server 2003-2008R2)Is the methodof backing up the VM's the same as before oris there a better way then installing an agent on every VM?? Example: I have 3 Host ESXi 5.1 servers and 1 vCenter and 10 VM's. What is the best way to backup all the VM's? Do I install an agent on every VM? I have the option ofadding a vCenter server to my list of servers to backup, when I edit the selections I can see all the VM's on all the hosts but when I expand a VM it just shows the vmdk. Is there a way to backup both the vmdk and individual files on the server in one job? (i.e. exchange mailboxes, documents, etc.) Or do I create one job to backup the vmdk and one to backup the server itself?? Hopefully someone can understand my madness lol Thanks for any help!Solved875Views1like3Comments
Backup exec appliance 3600 enable RDP
I am trying to RDP to the brand new backup exec appliance and as soon as I log in to the server it logs me off. I read some threads about needing to enable rdp via power shell and also saw some comments that only Symantec tech support can do that. How do I enable RDP?Solved2.3KViews1like2CommentsFull Appliance_Dedupe storage
I have a situation where my on-appliance storage is completely full, and I want to initialize it and start over. Does anyone have any knowledge how to accomplish this? I realize I can go into the storage itself, select Backup-Sets, and delete them individually, but I do not believe all my backup sets are actually listed there. Thanks in Advance.Solved513Views1like2Comments
