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!
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.
Discovery Accelerator exports.... .msg vs .eml
I'm working with EV 12.5.3 and Discovery Accelerator 12 doing some searches for our legal department. I'm having problems with the resulting PST files that I am exporting from DA. Some of the messages in the resulting PST cannot be opened in the Outlook preview pane. The displayed error is "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it". Upon closer inspection, I'm seeing that all of the messages that can't be viewed in the preview pane are actually in the generic .eml format and NOT in Outlooks native .msg format. After doing some research, I believe this is happening because we switched from Exchange journal mailbox targeted archiving to SMTP archiving last fall. All the more recent messages look to be the ones in .eml format. The problem is that, due to how our legal department is reviewing these search results (NOT in DA unfortunately), having to open every individual message in its own window instead of viewing it in the Outlook preview pane causes a huge increase in the amount of time it takes them to perform their review. Has anyone run into this problem before with .eml formatted messages, and do you have any creative solutions to this problem... something like a different export method, an add-in for outlook that can preview .eml's, maybe using a different mail client to review in? While i'm fairly certain the answer will probably be "Do your reviews in DA", there are other reasons why that is not feasible at the time that I won't get into here. Hoping to get some input from other community members on this problem and see if anyone has any ideas. Thanks everyone! Matt
Migrate from MessageOne to Veritas EV.cloud
I've read quite a few articles about migration from other solutions into EV, including exporting to PST, and importing back into EV, and the use of third-party apps to migrate to EV. Has anyone migrated from MessageOne to EV? We are looking for an idea of how long the process may take us. We have around 400 users, 1.6TB in storage, and total aggregate is 2.3TB. Any info is helpful. Thanks, Jess
