BackupExec / BEMCLI / New-BEVMwareSelection / IaC
Trying to select all VMs in a folder: This works, but selects a single VM, not all VMs in a folder: #$v01 = New-BEVMwareSelection "DC\Folder\NameofVM" None of these work: #$v01 = New-BEVMwareSelection -Path "DC\Folder" #$v01 = New-BEVMwareSelection -Path "DC\Folder/" #$v01 = New-BEVMwareSelection -Path "DC\Folder/" #$v01 = New-BEVMwareSelection -Path "DC\Folder\*" When BEMCLI does not crashout, it all looks ok in the GUI, as it maps the folder name correctly, but when job runs, it says no VMs selected and nothing to backup. When BEMCLI does crashout, it cant find a VM named "*". 🤷‍♂️ Did "someone" forget to add wildcard selection to the logic itself? The Help file implies this should work, or have I got the wrong syntax? Help appreciated, as its part of IaC to script/build the backupserver and its jobs.

NBU restore VMs from AIR_Gapped DR site into Main site
we are checking the possibility to restore a VM from AIR_Gap replication location back into the main site's Vcenter1 main site: NBU1+Vcenter1 DR site: NBU2+Vcenter2 VM initially resides on Vcenter1 of main site, NBU 10.2.0.1 (flex instance) takes backup of this VM and replicate its backup image to WORM in DR (NBU2). in case we got disaster in main site and NBU1 in main site is crashed, can we restore the VM from WORM/AIR-Gap (NBU2) into Vcenter1? is it only that we need to add Vcenter1 into NBU2? thanks,
Slow Windows file server cluster backup performance
Dear community, We are using NetBackup version 9.1.0.1 and were previously backing up two physical HP servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 shared data volumes without any issue. We have then migrated to two virtual nodes running Windows Server 2019 under VMware and backup performance is total chaos. Backing up 2GB of data takes 2 hours! We're using VSS and the NetBackup agent is installed on both virtual nodes, since backing them up using VMware native capabilities is not possible because we're using bus sharing (RDM disks). We have already opened a case with Veritas but the support agent is totally lost in the troubleshooting process. Do you have any ideas as to why this is happening and if we're doing things in the right way? I can share additional configuration data or logs if that helps! Thanks a lot and have a lovely week!
Install vCenter HTML5 plugin without GUI
Hi! We have a setup with a RHEL7 Master server and two 5250 appliances. It's used for a vSphere 7 plaform. We'd like the HTML Plugin installed, but I can't find an instruction for how to install it without a GUI. Our Master server runs without a GUI, and running the vwcp_manage requires a GUI.. Any ideas?Virtual Machine Backups Suddenly Got Slow
Hello, In December, our backups of VMWare full virtual machines suddenly slowed way down. At that time a staff admin recreated datastores and bumped the VMFS version from 5 to 6. There were no other changes that I'm aware of. Agent based backups run fine. Only Virtual machine backups run poorly now. It doesn't matter whether I backup to disk or tape, they never achieve a rate above 300 MB/min. Ideas on where the bottleneck is? Something is limiting the communication from Backup Exec to vCenter. I have a case open with support, but they are not figuring it out. I run BE 21.4 on a physical Windows 2016 server. Backup targets are NAS appliances and direct attached SAS tape drives. The server has teamed NIC that connect to three VLAN's: data to servers, second to NAS appliances, and third to underlying SAN appliances that host our VMWare environment. Our VMWare is old: 6.5. Thanks for your help. RayRecover one or 100 virtual machines with bulk instant recovery for VMware
