B2V Restore Issue
Hello Guys, I am having a problem trying to restore a Full backup set from a VM with an agent onto an EXSI host. Below are the steps that I have done and I will also be including the screen shots of the job selection, backup options, and error message that I am getting below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Things I have done so far. 1. Inventory and Catalog the tape. 2. Made sure what I want to restore is on those tape. 3. Select Convert to Virtual from a Point in Time 4. Select the appropriate backup options and attempt to run the job.1.4KViews0likes10CommentsExclude individual VMDKs from a V-Ray 2014 backup
We are backing up virtual servers in ESX 5.5 Using Backup Exec 2014 V-Ray edition. Some of these servers have multiple VMDK drives associated with them. Some of the drives on the servers store archive data that does not require backing up at frequent intervals. We want to be able to create two separate jobs using V-Ray backups, one that will backup the production data and another that will run less frequently to backup the archive data. However Backup Exec does not appear to allow for individual VMDK files to be excluded from a V-Ray backup. I would like to know if individual VMDK exclusion is supported in Backup Exec 2014, and if not, what is the best practice solution in this scenario according to Symantec.Solved1.5KViews1like5CommentsBackupExec2010R3 can't restore virtual machine(Vmware)

Hello, maybe someone can help me. After full backup of Windows 2008 R2 server (with MS SQL) we duplicated (I mean P2V convert) it to VMWare. But then we started converted server the MSSQL instances didn't start (we have two).

It looks like after convert all files in DATA directory looses its initial permissions. DATA directory has Full control permission for SQLServerMSSQLUser$... group but all files in it don't. Maybe someone has solution. Here is info about servers: For backup we use Sym BE 2012 SP4 SQL Server: Windows 2008 R2, MS SQL 2008 R2 Standart joined to AD Thanks in advance.2.9KViews0likes6CommentsCASO Optimised Deduplication Convert to Virtual failure if connection to MMS is lost
WE have a Optimised Deduplication setup CAS - Jobs are setup and run from this server to local storage MMS - Local storage CAS manages all jobs, Backups run on MMS server to local dedup storage, then duplicates to CAS deduplication storage. SDR files are located on both servers When attempting to convert to Virtual we are requested to restore from CAS or MMS, CAS is selected. When the communication between the CAS and MMS is established, all convert jobs run successfully. When communication is dropped, these converts fail.Inside the job setup, the Conversion settings options dissapear (ie, CPU, mem etc....) Strange though this never worked in SP1,SP2. Worked fine in SP3, but after upgrade to SP4 this stopped working again.SP4 was required as SP3 was unable to restore GPT drives. The reason we doing this and have this setup is for DR purposes, so if the client premises were to burn down wee have all the backed up data sitting at a DR site. In this scenario, the MMS sserver would no longer be available. Appreciate any assistance.1.6KViews1like12CommentsConvert to virtual from Point-In-Time failed 0xe000846a

I was wondering if someone can point me to a good document on how to go about installing BE on a Microsoft 2008 R2 Hyper-V host. The host server has of course the Hyper-V host, as well as four other virtual machines (Exchange, Terminal Server, SQL, as well as just a file server). I would like to find a document that talks about actual installation and best practices. Thank you for your help.2.9KViews1like7CommentsNetwork setings missing from vm restore
We are currently busy performing a live DR test of all our prod servers consisting of 2003 and 2008 Windows servers. The 2003 servers restore no problem. The restore job for the 2008 servers also finish successfully. However when starting up the 2008 servers it no longer hav ethe same network settins that it had when being backed up. We ran a similar test last year following the same procedure in which all servers restored no problem. We are currently runing BackupExec 2010 R2. In the virtual environment the only thing which changed is that we upgeaded from ESX\ESXi 4.1 U1 to 4.1 U2 at which time all NICs were upgraded to vmxnet3. The NICs seem to have loaded with default settings. IP6 on and configured for DHCP as apposed to IP4 on with the original IP configured. Has anyone else experiance this or have an idea on how to resotre these 2008 servers without having to reconfigure all the network settings?Solved2.3KViews7likes4Comments
