SBE12 - Keep Data for 4 Weeks append period
hi, I do not understund append period. About the default media set Keep Data for 4 Weeks for example ( applied to the library backup ). The backup data is protected from overwrite for four weeks. -> For me this is ok. The media can be appended to for six days. -> But after the six days what happens? takes another tape ? When the media becomes " appendend "? Then it should give infinite append ! why give a limit? Thank.Solved1.7KViews5likes6CommentsMigrate Exchange to new domain requires access to archives
I have an EV mailbox archiving server and anexchange server in domain Aand recently installed a newExchange server in domain B. Domain B mailbox are being archived over the Cloud. I have recently migrated few mailboxfrom Exchange in domain A to new Exchange in domain B but would require these migrated users to access their archives sitting on EV server in domain A. If I understood correctly, all I need to do is toaddthe domain B Exchange in to EV in domain A, create a provisioning task (but no archiving task as this mailbox is being archived over the cloud)for it? Please stamp my understanding...1KViews3likes4CommentsPUT 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!617Views3likes2CommentsFull Hard disk, need delete something old backup files.

I have a Netbackup 7.5 Master server at the head office with 32GB RAM, 2CPU X5650 2.66GHz (16 core total) which is connected to a Storagetek SL500 with 6 drives LTO 5. My Netbackup Media server is in our datacenter (Cloud)12 miles away, with 48GB RAM, 2 CPU X5650 2.66GHz (16 core total) which is connected to a LUN of 16T, 7200rpm (nearline). Storage Unit Actualy, I do not use the multiplexing on my Storagetek drives and my maximum concurrent jobs for my storage unitsis 6(media server) The backupare goingto the storage unit (16T)during night (backup to disk) and after, during the day, the backup are duplicated to the 6tapes drives, 12 miles away, at the head office, Master server. My backup start at 5pm to 7am and my duplication is starting at 7am to 5pm. How I could optimizemy systems? does I should run the duplication all day long, instead of 7am to 5pm? does I should increase the maximum concurrent jobs on my media storage units? does I should use the multipliexing on my 6 Storagetek drives? The differntial backup's runing monday to friday Full Backup during the week-end I'm asking because everything is running 24/24 and more client servers is comming very soon. I want to reduse the backup and duplication time. Thanks for your helpSolved1KViews3likes2CommentsFormer 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)2.4KViews3likes12CommentsSymantec Error Reporting Has Stopped Working.
