Catalogue Reporting from Backup Exec 12.5
Hello time-travelers, No it's not 2010. No need to adjust your clocks. What's the easiest way to run a discovery report on the Backup Exec 12.5 catalogue please? Are there any native or 3rd party tools that could help the discovery? Looking for simple information about: * Names of clients with valid backup images in the catalogue. * Date ranges of valid backup images in the catalogue. * Any data restores performed in last 2 years. Background: We have a legacy Backup Exec 12.5 platform running on Server 2003 that's been sitting idle for a number of years. The last backup image was created about 2 years ago, so it definitely has valid images. We have finally decided to decommission the old platform, but our Risk team wants to know what data is still being held on backups before they'll sign off on the "early" destruction. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Discovering Devices - Never Completes!! Help PLS!
Hello Everyone, I have a DLT 8000 drive connected via scsi 2940 running win server 2016 x64 std. Vanilla stand alone server install with base service packs/patches. No other SW is installed. Device manager has no errors. Im using the latest backup exec v25. In the Storage Tab of Backup Exec, Discovering devices simply refuses to complete. I've left it running for hours. It just constantly runs marking both tape drive and disk storage as online and offline every five or so minutes. I've tried pausing the devices...discovering devices just cycles marking them offline and then online.. I've tried deleting the tape drive....it is found within a minute and then same discovering devices cycle of marking offline and online. I've tried restarting the server. Same result. Discovering devices just refuses to complete. I've had the same endless discovering device issue with backup exec versions 16, 20 and 21. I've restored the server via image prebackup exec install between each version. I've been messing with this issue for three weeks Please kindly assist!! Thank you to all!
