Suggestions for backing up a large VM with DFSR data
We have customer VM which is around 36 TB in size currently and expected to grow in the near future. The VM hosts DFSR data. Earlier, the VM used to have around 4 TB of DFSR data which we used to backup using a MS-Windows policy with backup selection of shadow copy components for backing up the DFSR data. Now since the customer had added multiple new vmdks/drives for hosting for DFSR data, I am looking for suggestions for a efficient backup method for backing up the complete VM. Total size of DFSR data is more than 32 TB. Any suggestions would help and if anyone has encountered such scenario, please advice. The method I can think of right now is to split the backup into multiple policies and backup each DFSR drive in its own policy and possibly take a weekly backup for each drive. Any suggestions for daily backup of the VM? My backup infra is a one master server and 3 media server ( all redhat) with Ceph storage and AWS Glacier.
Backups failing after enabling DFS on server
I have a file server setup that everyone in my organization uses as a network drive to save their documents to (D: drive). Backup exec has worked just fine backing it up until I enabled DFS on the server this past week. Now backup exec runs for 3 minutes and then errors out and says: The job failed with the following error: The directory or file was not found, or could not be accessed Directory DfsrPrivate\ was not found or could not be accessed. None of the files or subdirectories contained within will be backed up I noticed on the D drive (the drive all the data I'm wanting backed up resides) there is a hidden folder on there now called DfsrPrivate and its a shortcut to a differnet location. I tried ommitting that directory and re-running the backup and it does run, but it only backs up like 30 MB of data and I have about 75GB of data on that drive. Am I missing something simple here or what?
BE15 backup DFSR performance very low
Dear, we are in China, we are using BE 15 running on windows 2012R2 physics server, flash installed, we have a server on VM platform 5.1, this server have a drive attached from a NAS volume, this drive set the DFS replication with another server in Europe, backup the data on this drive directly the performance is OK, but backup the DFSR is very slow, sometimes 100MB, sometimes 50,20, ever 2MB, i guess the problem maybe is the DFSR setting, have any way to speed up? thanks
Backup DFSR data in Netbackup 7.1 (Solution for Error-13 )
Environment: NetBackup 7.1, Windows 2008 R2 DFSR enabled File server in Cluster. Error: Backup partially completes or fails with error 13 without backing up actual data. Issue: Wrong policy configuration and backup job conflict on virtual server on same cluster node. Solution:
