Backup exec vss provider
Hi, Could someone tell me what is the function of "backup exec vss provider" ? How does it benefit the backup process ? It is set to manual in the services of my virtual machine (windowsserver 2008 R2) ? When I try starting it, it complains about "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion" RegardsSolved3.8KViews0likes2CommentsSymantec Appliance 3600. Backup VMs from vCenter.
Hello! When I back up virtual machine from VMWare vCenter, it doesn't appear in my backup and restore tab. So, backup completes successfully, but I can't restore VM, because I don't see it in backup and restore tab. I can add this VM manually, but in this case Backup Exec sees the VM as a physical box and adds the virtual server to the selection list as a physical server. Similar to this http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/backup-exec-2012-virtual-servers-show-physical-selection-list What's the proper way to add VM as a Virtual Server to Symantec Backup Exec to use all benefits of GRT?

Hi, I upgrade my appliance to 3600.R3 and it was upgraded successfully. I further installed via live update SP1 andhotfix-225092. Now when I upgraded the agent on virtual machine it was upgraded and it changed its colour to blue, but it still has the arrow over it showing that it has some update, version numbr of agent is14.1.1786.1068. The problem is when it runs the backup job it stay stuck on "Discoverying resources". I have tried taking its backup as physical server and via V-center, in both the cases it had the same problem.

Hello, We are running BE 2012 on a 3600 R2 appliance. When attempting to run a backup of SQL located on a vm, it fails with the following error: Storage device "Appliance_Dedupe_BACKUP:3" reported an error on a request to write a media location identifier (file mark). Error reported: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Veng-sql2-backupVENRetailWindows_V-6.1.7601_SP-1.0_PL-0x2_SU-0x110_PT-0x3 - An unknown error has occurred. However, more importantly, the backup job seems to completely bring down the vm. In discussion with vmware, it appears as though local disk space on the vm is expanding during the backup, and since the disk is configured as thin, it automatically expands causing the entire datastore to fill up, bringing the vm down and preventing it from starting up again until space is freed up. We were able to bring the vm back by moving the vswp file to another datastore. So my question is, does this sound like a problem with insufficient space required for client side dedupe? How can we determine how much space is required for this? When checking the Backup Exec AOFO Store folder on the vm, it's empty, which I understand automatically cleans up after a reboot. Since this occured on a production server, we can't rerun the backup until we know for sure what caused the issue. Thanks.Solved1.2KViews0likes3CommentsGRT restore with Hyper-V

Hello, I set up a second network to be backed up by a network other than the production network, but is failing. I have a hyper-v cluster configured with two networks, but when I launch the backup for the backup network fails, it is strange because when I see the jobs if the cluster virtual machines and let me choose the machine and complete the jobs. Has anyone ever created this configuration? greetings, thank you very much in advance.Solved960Views0likes5Comments
