"Browse Failure" when choosing VMware tools iso
Hello all, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to do a "convert to virtual machine from point in time" in Backup Exec 2012. I almost get throughthe whole setup sucessfully, I point to my ESX/Vcenter and choose a datastore. Now on the final step, i click the browse button beside the "Full path of VMware tools ISO image:" and i get the following error: "Browse Failure Failure to browse "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" The directory or file was not found, or could not be accessed." Now the first thing i'm noticing is it is trying to browse our old domain/FQDN. Is there any way of choose a new browse location?Solved2KViews4likes4CommentsHyper-V Failover Cluser backup issue
Hello to all, I have recently setup an Hyper-V failover cluster with 2 brand new servers configured as clustered nodes along with a CSV storage. THe cluster is working great, the failover works fine, and I can Live Migrate Virtual Machines as much as I want. However I am running into a Backup issue. My Backup software is Backup Exec 2010 R3. I have installed the backup agent on my 2 failover nodes. In the backup job selectionI can see my cluster refered as Hyper-V-Cluster1 , and underneath I see C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1 , and also Microsoft Hyper-V-HA Virtual Machines , with my Virtual Machines listed. So far so good. The problem is that , when selecting VMs under Hyper-V HA , the backup will fail for all the VMs stored on the node which is not the storage Owner Node. For the owner node the VMs are backedup properlyas long as I choose the following Advanced Open Fileoption: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service => Automatic, Allow Vss to select the snapshot provider. But for the VMs on the NON storage Owner node the job will failed with the following error: - AOFO: Initialization failure on: "VRTSRV::\\HyperV-Cluster1.xxx.local\Hyper-V?HA?VM\VM1". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). V-79-10000-11230 - VSS Snapshot error. Unable to get minimum quiet time for physical volumes. Reduce the activity on these volumes, or wait and run the backup when there is less activity on the volumes. The following volumes are dependent on resource: "C:" "C:\CLUSTERSTORAGE\VOLUME1" . I cannot back up VMs stored on the non owner Hyper-V host ( node). I tranfered this VM on the Owner node, andthen the backup works just fine. So I would like to know how to backup all my VMs stored on the other node. Besides , in the job selection, if I choose my VM from the C:\Clusterstorage\Volume1 instead of selecting it from Hyper-V HA , it works fine too. So I am also wondering what is the difference between choosing Hyper-V HA , and C:\Clusterstorage I am adding a picture below, so it makes more sense. Thank you for your answers !4.5KViews6likes11CommentsInstall Backup Exec 2014 on virtual machine??
Hello, I am currently running Backup Exec 2014 on a Server 2003 machine that also servers as our secondary domain controller. We backup to disk first then copy to tape. We are migrating to new servers running 2012r2. Can BE 2014 be installedon a virtual server? I thought this would be a good way to separate the secondary DC role from Backup Exec. ThanksSolved3.1KViews0likes5CommentsBE2012 thinks VMWare VSS provider and Symantec VSS provider are installed
For a while now, one backup job returns everytime that the job completed with exceptions: The job completed successfully. However, the following conditions were encountered: The backup has detected that both the VMware VSS Provider and the Symantec VSS Provider have been installed on the virtual machine. However, only one VSS Provider can be used on a virtual machine. You must uninstall the VMware VSS Provider. I admit: at first, the server did have the VSS provider installed: this is a Windows Server Core, and I didn't think of refusing the VSS provider through command line at VMWare Tools installation. But I removed the VMWare VSS provider through command line. Even more, I also tried to completely remove VMWare Tools and Backup Exec Agent, and do it right this time (through command line, no VSS provider with VMWare Tools). But it still didn't help. I recently found a discussion which mentioned whuch registry keys and files should be deleted also (I lost the link), but after making sure these things were removed, I still got the exception. Can someone tell me what I should check after removing VMWare tools, RAWS and reinstalling them?Solved3.1KViews1like8CommentsHow to configure Firestreamer Virtual tape library in BE2010 R3

Hi, I'm currently using Backup Exec 2014 to back up our infrasdtructure which is a mix of physical and Hyper-V guest machines. I am experiencing intermittent problems where the Backup Exec Remote Agent and sometimes also the Backup Exec Job Engine crash, rendering the active and remaining jobs to fail. Some of the backups go to a deduplication disk and others go to standard disk, but all get duplicated to tape after they have verified. I have raised this with Veritas but have so far not had much joy in sorting it out. I have noticed from last night's failure that 2 catalog jobs were running at the time. One catalog job had partially worked for some of the Hyper-V server's virtual resourcesin the job(8 out of 29 - this was from a backup to the standard disk) whereas the other one had failed to catalog any resource (this was for backup to deduplication storage). In both cases, the failure was due to the Remote Agent crashing on the backup server. I have noticed a lot of PDVFS errors in the event log (event id 50000) and wonder if this has any relevance. I have read articles suggesting these can be ignored, but I do get a lot of them. An example of the error from last night is: "An error occurred in the PDVFS driver: <err> pdvfs_cache_lookup: <GUID> didn't find after update blk_offset 131072 xfer size 262144" I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems and has any idea as to how to resolve it. It seems to be related to the Hyper-V guest backups as the three jobs that fail are the three Hyper-V backups (one to standard disk storage, the other two to deduplicated storage). One Hyper-V backup job protects 4 VMs on a Hyper-V cluster (to deduplicated storage), another protects 11 VMs (deduplicated) and the third protects 5 VMs (standard disk storage). Apart from the cluster, the backups protect the Hyper-V standalone servers themselves in the same job as their VMs. Another point to note is that the catalog jobs seem to take a long time on some of these jobs. Any help would be much appreciated as this has been happening for some time now and can fail several times a week or as little as once in 2 weeks. It is a pain as if the full backup fails, it can takethe whole week to get back into step and sort the problem, especially if other crashes occur during the week. Thanks Chris734Views0likes1Comment
