Select for Restore - unable to obtain list of files using specified search criteria
We have seen this issue posted already but have been unable to resolve. We are using NetBackup v7.6.1 and have a couple of policies (with identical settings) to backup a number of VMware virtual machines. One of the policies has a problem when trying to select individual files for restore. Like the others it is type VMware and 'Enable file recovery from VM backup" is selected/ticked. Backups are completing successfully every day for this policy (snapshot and backup), over 1.1 gb written). We only get this error for this policy and only when selecting "Restore from Normal Backup..." Restore from "Virtual Machine Backup" does not produce the error and displays results under "Contents" pain without any error.

Duplicate full backup and delete original?
The reason is that we are just implimenting GRT backups of Sharepoint, which requires disk storage. Until we get some new hardware, I have a very small amount of disk storage (enough for one of said backups). So, ideally, I'd like to run the normal backup on a daily schedule and then have it automatically duplicate to tape and delete the copy on disk, so that the backup can run the next day. So, is there a way that I can automate a process to duplicate image that's on disk and delete the original once the duplication is complete? I was looking at the bpduplicate command (which we already use in batch files called by scheduled tasks to duplicate other images) and the duplication part is easy, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the old image, short of doing it manually each day.
Restore of Exchange 2010 item to Exchange 2013
We're planning to move to an Exchange 2013 DAG from our current Exchange 2010 CAS/Mailbox server setup. We're using NBU 7.5.0.7 with GRT to backup our Exchange 2010 environment; it's working great. I see from this forum post https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/exchange-2013-and-grt that as of NBU 7.6.0.3 and up, Exchange 2013 is supported with GRT (allowing for single-item restores). My question is, has anyone been able to restore from an Exchange 2010 GRT backup into an Exchange 2013 (will also be GRT-based) environment? I thought I would ask here before contacting support. Thanks in advance, Michelle
