Manually copying .bkf files
We are backing up our files every night with Backupexec to a dedicated backup hard drive in the same server. We feel pretty good about being protected from a hard drive failure. However we are not protected from a fire that destroys the whole server. I would like to copy the .bkf files to an offsite storage medium. Is this gonna work? Doing some research, I saw suggestions that this is not going to work, that Backup Exec needs to write the .bkf files to the backup medium directly or it will throw an error when you try to restore a 2nd generation copy of a .bkf. This seems a little strange to me.... let's say if you have a complete disk failure of the C: drive and the whole server OS (including Backup Exec installation) is gone, and you have to do a bare metal restore. So it looks like you can't just diieinstall a fresh OS and then a fresh copy of Backup Exec and then do a restore of the .bkf files because the fresh Backup Exec software won't know what to do with my existing .bkf files? P.S. we do not use encryption because our files are only valuable to us... no one else would find it useful or valuable255Views0likes1CommentTape consume extra space then actual upload size
We were taking Tape backup (LTO) from Windows server folder. After backup was completed, when we compared the size on the Tape was different from the actual size on the windows folder. We could not able to find where the extra space consumed on the tape. Windows Folder size: 58 GB After Tape Back, size on tape is: 90 GB We could not able to identify this extra 32 GB How and where on tape drive we can identify extra utilized space/files/waste ? andhow we can remove it ? Thanks&Regards Sachin411Views0likes3CommentsNetbackup error code 1. Any issue in restoring any files due to the errors?
At times, getting error code 1 for some backup and a rerun manually is successful. On some other days, it was able to completed successfully. No errors were seen. Any way to turn on more details logging to assist with troubleshooting?806Views0likes6CommentsMSL2024 Robotic Partition reconfiguration
Hi, I have a Query at a company running Backup Exec version 21.4 using an HP LTO tape library with two drives and 24 tape slots. The previous IT guy is gone but left the partition with 14 partitions. The first 1 -11 is a single partition and the rest of each has one slot, I need to change this configuration but I'm wondering what effect the changes would have on existing data that use the current partitions. will they update automatically? I don't want to make changes with existing 12 to 24 individual partitions if reconfiguring the partitions and changing from 14 to 24 individual could cause problems or data loss. 1-11 don't have drives385Views0likes1Commentthe backup failed to back up the requested files(6)

I directly ran a full backup, but the backup was always queued, and there was no rate. The rate was 0. After trying to restart all backup services, I ran the backup task again but there was still no rate. Moreover, I found that the backup service would automatically stop, causing the backup to hang inexplicably. The backup task cannot be continued. How to solve this situation?541Views0likes3CommentsThe backup failed to back up the requested files
