VSR 21 backup failure every 4-5 Days
Hi, Several weeks ago, we installed VSR 21 SP2 on a new Win 10 Pro 20H2 PC The PC has one 256 GB SSD NVMe. Last week we upgraded VSR to VSR 21 SP3 which supports Win 10 20H2. We run a VSR job daily on this machine with new recovery points created twice a month. Since the original install weeks ago backups fail approx. every 4-5 days withe following errors: "Error EC8F1780: Cannot successfully reconcile changes since last session. Error EC8F1771: Cannot enumerate the current drives on this system. Error E0050001: (UMI:V-281-3215-6016)" We were hoping the upgrade to VSR 21 SP3 would resolve the issue, but it made no difference. The error continues daily until the machine is rebooted and then backups run successfully again for 4-5 days. We have uninstalled/reinstalled VSR a couple of times with no change in the error pattern. For many months, we have VSR 21 installed on several other Win 10 Pro computers and we have not experienced this error on any of them. Any help is appreciated.

I think this issue applies to the offsite backup copy for SSRS versions 2013 and later. I've been using SSRS since it was a Norton product and have continued using it all the way to VRS 21. I have a NAS share as my off-site location and it works great, but the copies just grow endlessly. I'd like to be able to prune out old offsite copies, but there is no management UI within the app. Sure, I can manage the local backup locations and set expriations on the recovery points, and perform file actions like consolidating and what not. But there is no similar UI to manage the off-site copies! So my offsite destination has grown to 9TB and I'd really like to keep it under control! Yes I can just delete the copies loaded up to the offsite location, but I was wondering if/why/when/how VRS could or would offer options within it to manage the offsite locations. Sure the app will strat to delete when the off-site location gets full, but lets be honest, we don't ever let our NAS get full! That's like letting our temp locatiosn fill with log files and crash the database! LOL! Or maybe, I'm just missing it and the UI has these capabilities that I've overlooked for 10 years or more... So I post the question here. Ideas? Comments? Tips? I welcome them. Thanks...758Views0likes1CommentHow to restore the archived items from EV to 365 mailbox

Hi, Back in October 2013, a support case that I opened with Symantec in relation to failure of the Elitepad 900 G1 to boot into the Symantec recovery environment from a USB or DVD drive etc, was ultimately closed with no resolution due to a compatibility issue or similar. I recently decided to pick this up again and am pleased to report a successful outcome but not without issues. Here's what I did: > Note: I have SP2 installed on my SSR client (Ver. 11.0.2.49853) but this is immaterial to process described below. > Grabbed a copy of the latest 32bit recovery ISO (SSR11.0.2.49853_AllWin_English_SrdOnly.iso) from here: https://www4.symantec.com/Vrt/offer?a_id=88724 > Obtained and formatted thumb drive as FAT32 (I did not have to bother with the diskpart procedure that is referenced as required from several sources) > Used WinZip to extract the contents of the ISO to the USB flash drive. Note: DO NOT use the Customer Recovery Disk wizard in the SSR 2013 client. > That's it, plugged it in to one of 2 x USB sockets available on the Elitepad productivity jacket. (Note: if you don't have a jacket you might be in trouble having access to only 1 x USB port. > A USB keyboard needs to be connected to the 2nd USB port as there is no touch panel functionality in the recovery environment. Note that If you wish to use a USB Ext Drive to store the recovery points, the USB Boot Flash drive can be safely removed once the environment is entered, allowing you to connect your USB Ext Drive. > In Elitepad Advanced Startup options, selected USB EFI Boot Device option. > Elitepad booted into recovery environment with navigation by keyboard thereafter (Some useful keyboard shortcuts are:- TAB to cycle the focus between objects; enter to select; [space] to check/uncheck a checkbox; right arrow key to expand a file folder to show subfolder) > Ripped a Windows 8.1 image from one Elitepad and then restored using this image to a factory state Windows 8.0 device with no issues whatsoever, just had to re-activate Windows after the restore. So anyway, the critical step in the process described above is to use WinZip or a similar archiving utility to get the ISO contents onto the flash drive because for some bizarre reason, if you use the Symantec Custom Recovery Disk wizard to burn the ISO, this causes all of the files on the flash drive to become hidden (even with "Show Hidden Files / Folders" checked in file explorer?) with the exception of autorun.inf. The problem appears to be that the Elitepad 900 GI apparently can't see these files because it does not recognise a flash drive prepared in this manner, as a valid EFI USB boot device. It seems unlikely that the Elitepad 900 is the only tablet that might be affected by this issue. Hopefully this guide might save somebody some time at some stage.

Team, Can somebody help me with this. We are currently using SEV and our management has asked us to migrate to BMA.

Hi As an EV administrator I need to be able to restore items from the Journal archive back into the users mailbox - eg if they delete an email before it gets archived etc. I could do this in EV10.x but since upgrading to the new EV Search I can't find the option to copy it back into the users mailbox. I can do this for the user archives but not from the journal archive. If I shift select a group of items (for the same user) I only get the option to export to zip\pst.
