Now that we know how VM discovery job works for a VMware Intelligent Policy (VIP), let us move on to the actual backup job. The process flow described here is the same for both VIP and browse-and-select type policies unless specified otherwise.8.2KViews12likes18Comments0xe0009582-Cannot get the disk changed information
Hello, I'm running BUE 16 and attempting to back up a Server 2016 VM (vSphere 6.0 U3) and it always fails with0xe0009582-Cannot get the disk changed information. I have two other 2016 VMs that are backing up fine. The only difference with this one is that it has an independent disk attached, which, if memory servers are automatically excluded during backup. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the agent, insured the VSS provider is not installed in VMware tools, and tried several jobs with instant GRT, VM GRT, and Advanced Open File option enabled and disabled. Nothing has worked so far. Any ideas?2.8KViews0likes1CommentIntroducing Backup Exec 21 - Simple, Secure and Unified Data Protection

We've restored a single VMDK with it's VMX file to the backup media server, uploaded that to the ESX VM host, added it to a powered down server and attempt to power on the server, but get message: "Unsupported or invalid disk type 2 for 'scsi0:2'. Ensure that the disk has been imported." ... "Unable to create virtual SCSI device for 'scsi0:2' " Is there anything special I need to do when requesting the restore to have a usable VMDK file or a step after the restore from tape step? Was running BE16 at the time of restore for this example. Upgrading to 20.3 right now. But I doubt the process changed. Using vSphere web clientVersion 6.5.0.20000 Build 9451637 My goal is to get a file out of a VMDK based backup by attaching restored VMDK to a non-critical server. This has never worked for me, so I'm obviously doing something wrong.1.9KViews0likes4CommentsNB_LAST_BACKUP-Filed in vSphere Web Plugin
Hi Experts, I've got an issue during the export of the vSphere inventory. The Field "NB_LAST_BACKUP" contains a number of special characters including commas, hyphens and even "carriage return". This makes the .csv-Export unusable for further processing. Is it possible to restrict or influence the content of the "NB_LAST_BACKUP" Field in order to avoid all special characters? Any input is highly appreciated! Thanks and Regards Christian1.2KViews0likes3CommentsvCenter 7.0 and NetBackup 8.1(Appliance version 3.1) incompatibility Issue. Backup Fails!
Hello, First of all, I'm not familiar with NetBackup. I just noticed that all VMware VM backups fail after I upgraded vCenter from 6.7 to 7.0. NetBackup 8.1 console> Media and Device Management> Credentials> Virtual Machine Server, the login to new vCenter fails, which I think why all VM backup fails. NetBackup Core Support confirmed that this is incompatiblity issue and I have to upgrade my Appliance and the other media server and Netbackup to upper version. Can anyone layout the steps and links how I can perform this upgrade? I searched knowledge bases but Appliance white papers talk about only appliance, Netbackup talks about only netbackup upgreade. Much Appreciated in advance.824Views0likes1Comment
