Backup Exec 2012 R2 (now named 2014 Beta) and no valid license
We bought a server with a Tandberg Streamer LTO Ultrium 4 and a version of Backup Exec 2012. The server works with Windows Server 2012. Since a verly long time now Symantec promises to release a version of Backup Exec which supports server 2012 as a media server. I was quite happy when I finally got the message, that the beta 2014 will support installation on windows server 2012. As you can read in the description of the beta it is the formerly known version Backup Exec 2012 R2. Since Symantec announced to release a working version for Windows Server 2012 I wonder, if I now have to buy a new license?PUT MORE IN THE GUI!!!!!
I get more frustrated everyday! When I call Symantec support and ask for a simple solution....I am always told to "run this cmd". Netbackup is suppossed to be the industry leader in backup software....so I am told. My company has spent over $500K on the netbackup software.....I can just imagine how much other compaines have spent. Here is 1 small example..... We are planning on moving our datacenter around and need to move alot of servers from this rack to that rack. Some of the servers include the netbackup servers(master & medias). Due to synthetic backups and MSDP(kudos for that)...all backups are done but the duplications to tape are still running. I have 10 duplications pending to run and they will not finish by the time we need to bring down the servers. WHY can I not just right click and hold or suspend these duplications? I am sure it would not take to much to program that into the the gui. NO I have to run some cmd that takes me 30 minutes to gather all of the information I need. Then another 30 minutes to write the cmd to release the duplications. I am sure I could come up with atleast 5 examples of where GUI improvements would make everyone's life's better. I understand that in 7.6 there are suppossed to be ALOT of improvements in SLP's and what can be done. I have been asking for these "improvements" for 3yrs now. Like I said...my company has spent ALOT of money to purchase....and for support for this product. You would think it would not take too much to program in these improvements. Maybe if more of us let Symantec know how we feel....they might do something!
Former Ghost 15 user - Getting trapped in the SSR 2013 Trial
A few days ago I had an issue with doing a system restore using Ghost 15. I went to that forum for help and learned that Symantec was going to discontinue Ghost and recommended users "check out" SSR 2013 with its free trial. I downloaded the free trial and eventually learned it would not install unless I first remove Ghost. That wasn't from anything that I saw when the SSR installation failed; that happened without any additional information. However, I did eventually find my way to this forum and a helpful Guru pointed out the issue and also that I could always re-install Ghost if I wasn't happy with SSR. I uninstalled Ghost, installed SSR, and started backing stuff up. Now, if one of the things you want to do is a full system restore (my primary interest)then you need a recovery disk. SSR will make a recovery disk for you and all you need to do is provide an activation key which you don't get with the trial version. No problem, as all I need to do is install Ghost. But I can't install Ghost until I uninstall SSR. And SSR WILL NOT UNINSTALL. Whenever I try to uninstall it there's an Error 2738 and something about a VBasic error. So now I have a trial verision of a program that I can't use and a paid for program I can no longer load. I guess it can all be fixed if I pay Symantec for an activation key for a program that I'm not sure I want in the hopes it will maybe allow me to upgrade to a latter version that can uninstall so I can install the program I uninstalled so I could evaluate the Free Trial. To put it another way, I may have to pay Symantec to I can remove their free software and load back the software I paid them for as well. And, even it it turns out there's a simple, and hopefully less expensive, way out of this I've still wasted a lot of time on what should be a free trial of a comercial product which appears to be more of an alpha test. (If I sound upset, it's because I really am)Sharepoint backup failure
Hi, The backup is failing with the following error: Job ended: Friday, September 19, 2014 at 6:37:58 AM Completed status: Failed Final error: 0xe000fe49 - An invalid parameter was specified. Final error category: Job Errors For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-65097 V-79-57344-33899 - The resource could not be backed up because an error occurred while connecting to the Agent for Windows. The correct version of the Agent for Windows must be running on the target computer. How could this issue be solved? Thank you,Planning Migration from NetBackup 7.1.0.3 to 7.5.0.6
Hi everybody, We are planning a migration from NetBackup 7.1.0.3 to 7.5.0.6 in VCS Cluster 5.1 SP2 environment. After the research in compatibility guide, we found that it is supported. Does somebody have an idea about the End Of Life Support ? NetBackup 7.1.0.3 Veritas Cluster Service 5.1 SP2 Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Thanks in Advance
