BE 15 fails to backup W2000 VM using BE Agent 2010 R3

I need a solution

After upgrading BE 2012 to BE15, I'm unable to Backup the Windows 2000 VMs using Backup Exec Agent for Windows (the last BE agent supporting W2000 is BE 2010).

When I try to do an Establish Trust in BE it fails:

Calling Method 'SetServerTrust'

BEMSDK Method 'MediaServerAdvertisementUpdate'

BEMSDK Failure Code: E0009B91

The job failed with the following error: An attempt to connect to remote computer has failed. The remote computer is running a previous version of either the Agent for Windows or the Agent for Linux. Due to security enhancements related to SHA-2 certificate migration, the existing trust between the Backup Exec server and the remote computer is lost. You must upgrade the remote agent and then reestablish the trust. Refer to the link below for more information: http://entsupport.symantec.com/umi/V-312-2.

Netbackup 5230 CIFS Share Permissions issue

I need a solution

We recently have had issues copying any software updates to the software share. I open the share via the CLISH - Manage>Software>Share Open. Then map a drive to \\nbappliance\incoming_patches using the appliance admin credentials. However, when trying to copy any packages to the location I get access denied. I've been able to do this in the past, then it suddenly stopped and I can't seem to figure out what changed. I've gone thru this past forum and it's something beyond this it seems - https://www.veritas.com/community/forums/cannot-pl...

Is it possible that permissions were altered somehow? If so, how can we correct them?

Backup Exec Jobs Stuck As Queued

I need a solution

I'm running Backup Exec 15 on Windows Server 2012. 

I have two tape drives that have been "orphaned" from my robotic library. I understand this is because I do not have licenses for them at this point in time. I am looking into doing so.

However, my Robotic library is now showing two offline tape drives.

The Alerts are giving me a Storage Error. 

Now when I go to perform any backup or restore job, it stays stuck in the "Active: queued" state. I understand this often happens when there is an alert to be taken care of. 

Is it possible that this Storage Error is responsible for my jobs staying as queued?

Initial Seeding for Remote using VMware Backup

I need a solution

Hello,

I am having some trouble trying to figure out a process of performing an initial seed. I've looked at a few articles but none specify what needs to be done for my current situation

https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH...

My environment has 15 remote sites and our datacenter. A few of these sites have data in the TB's. For DR purposes we are doing file level backups of VM's using the VMware options. Our server is on 7.7.2. 

Our process is each site has a media server that will make a local backup copy of our file server VM's, it will then duplicate the backup to our datacenter where our master is connected to a storage unit supplied by veritas. I'm trying to figure out how to perform an initial seed on the VM for duplication between media and master. The recommended way of seeding I'm not seeing how this will benifit us as it still requires going over the WAN pipe. Putting the "data" onto a usb drive would be great if I was just backing up data but since I'm backing up a VM I'm not sure what I would put on the USB to ship. I thought about creating a backup locally and then shipping the image and importing it at our datacenter but I'm not seeing any good articles on how that work. 

Would appreciate any help on trying to solve this. As mentioned we are on version 7.7.2

Thank you

I need a solution

When I put in expired tapes to the tape machine, Backup Exec is marking all the tapes overwriteable and linking them together. I only have 6 tapes availible to write on to. I used to have only two overwriteable tapes. Why is Backup Exec making all the tapes overwriteable and how do i reset the tape to normal so it can be written on. 

We are running backup exec 2012 on windows server 2008 r2 standard.

vxms log question

I need a solution

NBU 7.6.0.4 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Master/Media on same server.

I have some questions regarding the NetBackup\logs\vxms directory:

1. Over the weekend the drive this directory is on ran out of space. The vxms directory was the largest consumer and to free up some space I moved about a week's worth of the olderst files in this directory off server. This directory looks like it's kept to about 30 days worth. Will the moving of these files cause problems for NetBackup when it goest to do it's pruning schedule?

2. What exactly is kept in this directory? The *provider.log and *core.log files are very large and I'm trying to understand what the different files in this directory are for. I've read through the NBU Wmware Admin Guide, but that is mainly configuration, not theory of operation.

3. The VXMS_VERBOSE is set to level 5. I'm not sure if this is the default setting, our NBU environment was configured by someone who has since retired. Does the verbosity need to be set to this level?

Thanks for any guidance. I'm relatively new to NetBackup as you can likely tell.

Backup Exec 15 - S3 Bucket - Can you configure proxy settings for HTTP/HTTPS traffic?

I need a solution

We are stuck trying to connect a Backup Exec media server, located in a secure, non-internet connected network. The media server does have a HTTP/HTTPS proxy available to grant access to the internet but again, the server does not have general access to the internet.

We have configured the internet proxy settings for the operating system (Windows Server 2012 R2), however, the Backup Exec application does not seem to respect these settings. Nor does the application have any available settings to configure these proxy settings.

The LiveUpdate application, that comes along with Backup Exec to facilitate the updating process does have proxy settings that can be configured.

Are we missing something? Does Backup Exec have proxy settings that can be configured to assist with cases where the Media Server is located in a secure network?

Hello,

I have setup a google cloud bucket for purpose of backing up monthly full backups.  I find however that I can't afford to do a full backup each month, as it takes too long with my currenty internet connection.

How (if possible) can I do a full backup one time, but then have only the changes updated to the cloud, but that change be like a snapshot in the cloud, so that I have a restore option of a full backup (snapshot).

Is this possible using backup exec and google cloud s3 buckets? (or any cloud options with backup exec) Or does backup exec not operate in this fashion?

Thank you

Hi,

I'm trying to restore an Oracle database backup made by Backup Exec 15 to a different server from the backup source database, but I'm receiving a generic error.
I tryied two ways to restore:
     a) Configure restore on Backup Exec Server
     b) Execute commands directly on RMAN

but the error is the same.

Alert.log has only the startup database information, nothing about the restore.

Some informations:

* init and pwd files are in ORACLE_HOME\database
** Oracle 11.2.0.4 Standard
*** Windows Firewall is disabled

RMAN> startup nomount

connected to target database (not started)
Oracle instance started

Any way to allow 1 BE media server host more then 1 deduplication storage, or merge muti deduplication storage to one?

April 5, 2016, 8:15 pm

I need a solution

We had 1 master site + 4 satellite sites.

Each satellite site is connecting to master site thought 6Mb MPLS connection as show on the below picture.

Site.jpg

We would like to centralize the backup on master site by using deduplication replication (throught Centralize Admin Option)

However, after calculation, we found we need at least 3 months to do the initial sync from a satellite site to master site thought network.

To avoid the long initial sync, we are going to manual copy the data as below:

1. On satellite site, create deduplication storage, and do full backup to the satellite site.

2. Stop the deduplicate storage, copy the deduplicate storage files to the tapes.

3. Offsite the tapes to master site, restore the deduplicate storage files.

4. Create new deduplicate storage on master site by importing the deduplicate storage files.

5. Enable the deduplication storage on both master site and satellite site, enable deduplication replication (throught Centralize Admin Option)

The above method is easy to perform, if we only have 1 master site + 1 satellite site.

However, we had 4 satellite sites, we cannot did it for 4 times as 1 Backup Exec media server could only host 1 deduplication storage.

Would you please suggest: 

- Any way to host 4 x deduplicate storage on 1 Backup Exec media server, so they each deduplication storage could only serve their own satellite site?

Or....

Any way to merge 4 x "offsited" deduplication storage to 1 deduplication storage, so the deduplication storage on master site could serve all 4 x satellite sites?

Thank you very much!

Hello,

I am looking for new solution for backup big SAP DB 17 TB / 300 GB changes/per month

For now we are using customized scripts using flashcopy from DS8000 (source for this DB). Flash is being mounted via media server and goes to tapes via SAN using RMAN backup (to tapes).

We have upgraded recently NBU to 7.7.2 and we bought 4 x 5330 Appliance as media servers 4 x 200 TB

What backup solution do you suggest?

I have read about Oracle Copilot, what do you think?

There is also Client snapshot for SAP

Or maybe use standard RMAN backup via Oracle Int Policy ?
