Cannot mount the windows PE image (SDR creation)
I'm trying to create a new simplified disaster recovery (SDR) disk (on 2 machines, actually). I get the error, "cannot mount the windows PE image. You may have insufficient privileges for the storage location C:\Users\<account>\AppData\Local\Temp\SDRStaging" I'm even running Backup Exec logged in as the service account we use for Backup Exec, and I'm running BE as an admin. Thoughts? Server 1: BE Version 16.0, 1142.1659, Windows Server 2016 Server 2: BE Version 20.6, 1188.2718, Windows Server 201626Views0likes2CommentsSimplified Disaster Recovery disk image failure
On trying to create an SDR disk image (BE button > Configuration and Settings > Create Disaster Recovery Disk) the wizard tells me I have to manually install a couple of Microsoft software packages; the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) and the Preinstallation Environment (WinPE). Following the instructions on the wizard, I must download ADK 1809 as I'm using Server 2019 along with WinPE so I download and install these then run the wizard again. Part way through creating the disk image, an error appears: Cannot mount the Windows PE image. You may have insufficient privileges for the staging location: C:\Users\RICHAR~1.SER\AppData\Local\Temp\SDRStaging. Try a different staging location by changing the value of the registry key 'Software\Symantec\Backup Exec for Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\IDR\Staging Path' On looking in the registry, I find there is no Staging Path key, so I create one as per KB 100011310 and set the path to C:\BEsdrStaging, ensuring that the Backup Exec service account has NTFS Full Control applied. I then run the SDR wizard again but encounter the same error with the new path. I then run through KB 100044284 but sure enough I have followed these steps to the letter. I try a few other paths, all with the same result. Can anyone help please? ThanksSolved2.2KViews0likes4Commentsneed help to configures hyper-v server backups
A little background infomation: I am in the process of upgrading our BackUp Exec server and backups. We were on version 2012. We are upgrading to BackUp Exec 16. I built a new Windows Server, OS 2012r2 and installed the Backup Exec 16 software without an issues. I have a few physical servers that aren't VM host. I comfigure them. All are backing up without issue. As for the VM Host and virtial machines, I'm wanting to use the new features so I can use file/folder-level Granular Recovery Technology (GRT). I'm just not sure how ro back up the VM's so I can do this and use Simple Disadter Recovery too. In otherwords, I want to be able to recover the whole VM and/or a file from that VM. What is the correct way to do this? As so, when I configure the backup, when do I need to capture the Host Components? I have included a screenshot of what I'm trying to do. Just not sure if I need to have 2 backups, one for SDR and one for GRT. Any advice or instruction on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have recently installed BE16 and configured backup jobs. The backups are working well. I am backing up to a NAS device. I tried testing SDR by creating bootable media, booting from that media and selecting full system restore. When prompted for the backup location, I tried to specify the NAS both by name and IP address, but it returns "Network name not found". I tried browsing the network, found the NAS device and selected it, but it still return the "Network name not found" error. The server has not gone live yet, but I would like to get this resolved before it does, as I will have very limited windows for testing afterwards. Many thanks, TimSolved1.3KViews0likes2CommentsFull backup for SDR
Hi we want to run a fullbackup ofa phsycal Exchange server for SDR with BE 15. My understanding is, this backup should be placed on a hard drive. right now I have a drive with enough free space for this job butthe drive is on a different server then BE 15 server. I would like to know if I can cread a B2F folder that point to a share on other server and put the full backup of the exchange server there? or the backup must be placed on a drive that is on BE server itself? ThanksSolved1.3KViews0likes3CommentsSimplified Disaster Recovery Disk_Drivers
Hi. I'm creating aSDR for a W2008R2 Dell PE510 file server running BEX 2014. I want to make sure it is correct. I wastrying to add Dell network card and SAS controller drivers downloaded from their website and oem#.inf drivers stored on the server, but now I am not sure if I need to do thisor if they are automatically added to the SDR image by the wizard. When I try to add the drivers i get a few messages for the different drivers like "A newer or same version of the driver already exists in the database". Are installed drivers of the backed up server already automatically populated into the SDR by the wizzard? What type of drivers should be added to the list (eg. i have an external tape drive attached to one of the controllers)? Tnx...1.4KViews0likes3CommentsBackup Exec 15 - SDR Restoration
Hi, We have a computer running in windows 7, used 24/7. The computer suddenly hangs up (network-NG, remote connection-NG). To resume its operations, we must forced restart the computer. We cannot pull-out the said computer since it is used in the production area. Now, i'm planning to replace the unit. To replace a new unit with all of its configuration being retained, i'm planning to use BE15 SDR and restore it to a new computer. Question: While restoring, will there be a computer and IP address conflict? Turning off the computer during the SDR Resrtoration (restoring to new computer) is not possible since the computer is greatly needed in the production area. Thanks!1.1KViews0likes3CommentsBackup Exec 15 - Do I need to backup BE SQL Databases for SDR
We have a daily backup job that is set to backup the System State, C: (system) and S: (file storage) drives. No SQL databases are backed up and SDR has been enabled for this backup job. The job completes nightly without error. In the job configuration, BE states that SQL databases have been detected but are not selected for backup. The only such database we are aware of is the one used by Backup Exec. Does this database actually need to be selected for backup, to completely backup this server, for use by SDR? The system is a single file server Windows Server 2012 with BE15 backing up to a tape loader.796Views0likes1Comment
