Invalid signature
Ok, I have seen a lot of articles and discussions on the topic, but I cannot seem to make headway. I have had this issue since BE 2010 R3, but I recently upgraded to 2014 and still have the same issue, different error code. I have an EMC Isilon Cluster with IQ 6000x nodes. running OneFS 7. We recently got new VNX storage and now I would like to make the old cluster the backup location. Upon creating the new VM server (2012 R2), I created a new service account in the domain, added it to my super users group, installed all software under that account on the server. Set that account as the BESA while setting up BE 2014. I went into the NTFS permissions and confirmed the super users had full access, and went into OneFS and made sure the super users also had full write abilities in the smb permissions. The super users group is also a local administrator of the server. Here is what I am getting. Some times upon trying to create the disk in BE, It tells me my UNC path is incorrect. I go to windows explorer and copy the path and paste it and still get the error. If I close out of BE and come back in, it may accept the path, but once I get to the 'finish' and attempt to finalize I get an "invalid signature" error and cannot finish the set up. Checking in event veiwer, the error isn't really too helpful.

Cannot to connect BackupExec to Data Domain with OST Plug-In
Trying to connect via creation of a disk device. When clicking "Add OpenStorage" device in Backup Exec disk devices (Backup Exec 2010 R3 SP2), I am able to get to the point as follows in the attachment. I can get all fields to work, it sees it as a "Data Domain" in the selection box, but on the LSU, it doesn't populate. Login credentials are definitely right. The OST 2.5 plugin for datadomain is installed on the media server. If I manually type in LSU1, or any free text in the Logical Storage Unit field, it doesn't make any difference. The error that I get when I click OK says: "Cannot connect to the NDMP server, or to the remote computer that is configured as a Remote Media Agent, or to the remote computer that is configured for deduplication" I do not have the DD Boost license enabled, I have one MTree. I was told and confirmed that I do not need the DD Boost option to create an OST device against a straight data domain. I am on 5.0.1 OS on the DD 580.
Using the scratch tape while backup is running.
Hi, We have the following details :- 1. Two Hyper-V server (Windows 2008 R2). 2. BE 2012 SP1on Windows 2008 R2. 3. Tape Library (Single Drive).(24 slots) 4. Storage (EMC VNXe 3100). We have partitioned the tape library where two slots on each partition. Now , my query is as follows:- We have a policy where we are using a particula partiion of the backup destination location. And we have one tape on to the slot (Among the two slot), I mean to say that the each partition is having one tape. When I excute the backup policy we found that the tape which its was using to take backup got filled and As I told We have one tape in each partition, now Will this work if I put a scratch tape in to the seconf slot of that partition on the fly (in mioddle of job running). Or I need to stop the entire backup jos and put more tape and start the backup once more. OR I need to change the tape form that particula slot and use a scratch tape on to the same slot on the fly(when backup jos is running). Thanks.
Backup Exec 2010 R3: NDMP restores to EMC VNX 5500 do not work
Hi, The issue on hand is, that, as the title says, i cannot restore NDMP Backups to a EMC VNX 5500. I do not get an error Message, the Job simply hangs after loading the Media. I also cannot cancel such a job, if i try, the job hangs with the status "Cancel Pending". The only way to recoverfrom this hanging jobis to restart the Backup Exec services, and sometimes i even have to eject the tape from the drive manually. Sometimes a job completes successful, but nothing is restored. When i check the Job Log of such a job i see the following errormessage: V-79-8192-4881 - The count of Files and Directories processed is not available for this operation. The File and Directory count might be displayed as zero. All Backups from the VNX5500 are working fine. We also still have an old EMC Cellerra, and if i set that system as a target for redirection, i can restore files that have been backed up from the VNX 5500. When i try to restore files that have been backed up from the celerra to the VNX 5500, i get the same error V-79-8192-4881 as above, and nothing is restored. My Backup Exec Version is 2010 R2, fully patched. The VNX 5500 is conntected via Fibrechannel to the Media Server. The File Software Version of the system is 7.1.47-5 The old Celerra is connected via LAN. If you need additional Infomation, i will gladly provide it.Snapshot creation by BE 2012
Hi, We have the following;- BAckup Exec 2012 on Win 2008 R2 (64 bit). EMC VNXe 3100 (Dual Controller). Hyper-V servers with 6 to 7 VMs. We were taking the VMs backup from the Hyper-V server. The snapshot is not enabled inside the policy. Backup uses the Microsoft VSS to take the VMs backup. No application GRT is enabled, expect the "Files & Folder " GRT(GRT of folder and files is enabled). Agent were installed inside the Hyper-V Host and VMs. The VMs were inside the Hyper-V host server's drive ,where the drives are inside the storage box. In other wors iSCSI LUNs(created inside the storage box) are mounted on to the Hyper-V server , where the VM's "vhd" files were kept. We are taking these VM backup using the Hyper-V license. My queries were:- 1. Is there any way that snapshot can be created inside the storage box. (Where the snapshot is not enabled for backup and also no snapshot is enabled inside the storage box). 2. Is there any free space required for taking VMs backup inside the drive and along inside the EMC box. 3. How exactly the Hyper-V backup execute and take backup. Please, help me to with the above queries. Thanks.
