Media host override for SAP restores on Data Domain storage server
Hi, We are required to run a very large restore (~12TB) of a SAP database. The backup image is stored on a Data Doamin storage server. We would like to force the restore to use a specific media server that is not the server used for the oirignal backup. The storage server has 6 DD Boost enabled media servers accessing it for both backups and duplications between data centers. Each time we initiate the restore a different media server is used. We have used the "media host override" settings but these do not seem to be honored for OST storgae servers according to this artilce - http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/how-use-media-host-override Has anyone else experinced this problem?
BE 2014 Slow Hyper -V Incremental Back ups
Hi All There seems to be a lot ofthreads regardingthis problem, however i've not found a difinitive solution. Environment Physical Backup Server - BE 2014, OS Windows 2008 R2 - Fully patched, 16GB RAM, 2 x 6 Core CPU's, backing up a mixture of physical andHyper-V Virtual Windows servers running Windows 2008/2012. We have recently upgraded to Backup Exec 2014, and it seems that our Hyper-V incremental backups run extremly slow. At around 200 MB/M. I understand that if I enable Microsoft incremental backups I need to upgrade my server to 2012 to get GRT backups. But i've not read anything that says this resolves the issue, and may impact on servers performance due to a snapshot always running. Any help would be great. Thanks Paul.
Server Agent out of date
I started seeing LiveUpdate Information About the agent for windows on at least one server does not have the most recent updates? To Install the most recent updates, on the Backup and restore tab, right click the remote computer that is out of date, and then select Update. 1.There is no indication on what server agent is out of date 2.After right clicking on each server on some I can see Update is grayed out and on some its clickable 3.Does this mean they are out of date and need to be updated? 4.What happen if I update the server will I have to reboot? 5.The server is Windows 2003 with exchange 2003 running on a cluster serves with 2 nodes 6.It seem each node might need the upgrade and the cluster seems to need 7.I am assuming after I update the active node the cluster will be up-to-date 8.Should I manually run LiveUpdate on the backup Exec server monthly and after an update I should update the clients?
