When I was using the Netbackup's console, there used to be a feature where I can extract "All Log Records" under Reports. Now for BE2012, I notice that a brand-new Report tab is there to allow me to create one with flexibility. So I wonder if there is a way to achieve the same, particularly the "All Logs" principle?
Thank you.
Hi All,
I have a Netbackup 5230 appliance 2.6.0.2 with 4x1Gb network port. I need to use eth0 for initial configuration. So I will bond rest of the network ports.
Can I include eth0 to bond, after initial configuration?

Hi All, I need a basic info related to tape rotation. This is a process when we add tapes into the library. 1. We mark an email to datacenter person to load tapes in tape library i.e. SL500. 2. We get a confirmation as yes this much tape i.e. 25 scratch tapes are loaded as per your request. 3.I execute a command to check number of scratch tapes available but it is still the same. I need an info related to inventory,how will now tapes been added into the pool if i will execute a command and will see those tapes added into existing ones, moreover my onsite team say there is a automatic solution through which intenvory is executed automatically and you can see tapes added. Kindly elaborate pls. thnks
Please introduce the ability to edit a report and then save it. Currently after you make a change to a report it needs to run the report and only then you get the option to save it. We sometimes have large reports that take 20minutes to generate, so a quick adjust and save would be amazing.

Hello, I try to restore virtual machine to original location, but I have this error, "unable to create new virtual machine", The backup is in tape, I try with other VM in the same host and the result is same, my versión of BE 2014, vmware 5.1, any idea?
1. When setting up a new backup job, there should be a way to enter something which you would see in the "Backup Set Description:" field while looking at a backup set's properties after the job completed. (Perhaps the "description" field that already exists in the job definition)?
After a lengthy support case with Symantec I've been told there's no way to do this any more. Which is a shame because sometimes it's the only way to tell that two backup sets are replicas of the same thing.
This used to exist in older versions of Backup Exec, and bizarrely, existing jobs that were converted over from older versions of the software still write out description information. Somehow. But there is apparently no way to do it for a new job.
2. There should be some way to enter description data after the fact and preserve it. There is already an analogous functionality in media (i.e. tape cartridge) properties. That screen has a Media Description field and a Yes/No dropdown to preserve the description. Something like that should exist for backup sets.
Hi,
I have a windows 2003 media server with be2012 vray. I need to restore a full vm, but I don't want overwrite the existing, running and original one.
I have seen the restore wizard and I have seen the 3 different kind of resotre options. I want restore on a different host or vcenter but I have a bit of fear to overwrite something.
For example I have tried to restore on a different path, I choiced to restore on a linux server [ROOT]/mnt/E/vm. But after 10 or 15 minutes of restoring the exact directory was till empty then I have canceled the restore job.
Please anyone could give me a step by step article ?
Hi,
I am running BE2014 as a media server runinng WS2012R2. My environment is as follows:
+ Blade Cluster -> 4 x Blades (hosts)
+SAN
+Virtual machines (approx. 10 VMs on each host) and their respective vhd's on the SAN
At present i have windows agents deployed directly to the VMs without Host integrity to backup the machines.
Today i pushed the agents on the Host machines as to start backing up the virtual machines through the host. To my surprise no virtual machines came up. Upon this discovery i created a test VM which instantly was discovered by BE. Is there some kind of procedure to be done when deploying Hyper-V host agents with existing virtual machines prior to the installation.
Did anybody came accross this issue ?
Thanks
Since installing hotfix 225092 in BE2014 my backups have failed with the following error when trying to backup the system?state:
- Snapshot Technology: Initialization failure on: "BNBFS002.terex.local\BKUPEXEC". Snapshot technology used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
V-79-10000-11219 - VSS Snapshot error. The volume or snapped volume may not be available or may not exist. Check the configuration of the snapshot technology, and then run the job again.Snapshot Technology: Started for resource: "BNBFS002.terex.local\SQLEXPRESS". Snapshot technology used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
The following volumes are dependent on resource: "C:" .
The snapshot technology used by VSS for volume C: - Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider 1.0 (Version 1.0.0.7).
Before the hotfix was installed there were no errors at all, and it is only failing on this one item.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may be happening?

I have BE 2010 on a win2008r2 with SQL to backup the dbase.
All this as a VM.
the system went up in smoke and so i built a new vm and upon restoring the dbase via SQL the message implies the tape drives are not hte ones in the dbase i am trying to restore so it errors and wont let me restore the BE dbase.
How can i get BE or SQL to read in my backup dbase file??
TIA
We needed to restore a folder to our Windows 2008 server, and discovered that we cannot restore any files more than a week old. The job status shows that these backups completed fine, but even though we can see them, the files cannot be accessed.
From the snapshot, all files dated in the backups 12/6/2014 to 12/12/2014 can be restored. However the ones below that cannot be. Clicking on one of those does not even display a directory tree as seen to the right.
I'd like to get something off the year end backup (not this tape) if possible, but it only shows backups with the yellow symbol in the lower left of the icon, like the ones I cannot access above.
More important, how do I fix whatever is wrong so I can get files off of old backups?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Env: BE 2012 SP1 on Win 2008 R2 - B2D2T (no de-dupe).
LiveUpdate to BE 2012 SP4 failed with 'LU1812'.
This TN: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH170556
...says that I will need the original install media - but I have two questions:
1) I don't have the original install media - so... can I use a downloaded full BE 2012 SP4 'ISO' (mounted) as the source media?
2) If I can't spoof it with a full SP4 ISO - then I'm faced with a dilemma - whilst I know that the BE instance is running BE 2012 SP1, I don't know if the original installation media was BE 2012 (base) (and then patched to SP1) or whether this instance was installed using a BE 2012 SP1 'ISO'.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.
Dave.
Hi All,
I have been working recently to try and setup a hyper-v backup policy within Netbackup 7.6.0.3. but jobs have been failing with 4201 "snapshot services: snapshot target analysis failed: provider-private error.
Our envrionment is configured at below
Master/ Media server running Windows Server 2012 with NB 7.6.0.3 installed
Hyper-V hosts are Windows Server 2012 R2 with NB 2012 R2 client installed (in a failover cluster)
Storage is provided to the Hyper-V hosts over SMB 3 connecting to a failover cluster of scale out fileservers.
detailed status of the failed job is attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am backing an Exchange server to a local volume. I run full backups on the weekend, then incremental during the week. In the backup savesets there are a number of save-sets that have expired that are not being removed by the DLM. They are blue and marked expired. I can highlight those save-sets and expire them manually (even though they are already expired) and then the DLM will remove them from the list and the volume.
In my backup jobs, I have an automatic duplicate to tape. The disk media is set to expire in 2 weeks, while the tape expires in 3.
The specifics of my system are as follows: Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 bit. Backup Exec 2014, SP1.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
Media server: WS2008 R2 SP1/BE2012 V-ray SP4
Remote servers: 1 physical WS2012, 2 virtual WS2012, RAWS installed and patched.
Backing up at guest level to a dedupe device. Backups of the physical and one of the virtual machines complete successfully. The other virtual machine completes with this exception:
Client-side deduplication is enabled for this job, but it could not be used. Please check this link for additional information:
The problem server has never worked with dedupe.
I have followed the steps in http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH77683. Or, at least, the subset of them that apply to BE2012. No change.
Restarted BE services on media server and problem server. No change.
Disabled both firewalls; no change.
Here is an excerpt from ADAMM.LOG that shows the 3 servers during the most recent BE media server services startup. (PRINT1 is the problem server.)

Setup:
Domain A & Domain B have a two way trust relationship in place. They are two separate forests.
Domain A has a Hyper-V cluster, member server on this domain has Backup Exec 2014 media server.
Domain B has a 2010 Exchange server as a virtual machine running on the Hyper-V cluster.
I'm trying to backup the Exchange 2010 server as a virtual machine, using the GRT option
The job completes successfully, but doesn't truncate the logs nor do I get the option to do a granular restore of Exchange items. Odd part is that I dont get any exception warning at all.
I've tested credentials, and currently the credentials that are backing up the Exchange server are from Domain B.
Media Server and Agents are up to date.
I have been trying to make an image and replace a secondary drive with a bigger drive and restore the image to the new drive. Something that with Ghost or SSR2013 pre R2 was usually a no-brainer. I upgraded to SSR2013R2 a few weeks ago after mostly happily using SSR2013 prior to R2.
A week ago I tried to restore an image made with R2 desktop with a R2 boot disc from a USB3 3TB ext. drive and it would not show up when booting up from the boot disc consistently. So I guess 3TB drives are still not an option although 4k clusters are supposed to work with R2.
So....I made another backup to my NAS this weekend. I validated the image when I made it and it was just fine. Nice big green checkmark after that backup. (I know I could have just copied the image from the external drive to the NAS but SSR copies VERY slow and if you use another copy utility, then SSR loses its mind over where the backups are).
Anyway I tried my R2 boot disc again, it found the NAS, and I started the restore to the new drive. No problem I assume! Well....at 50% it just stayed at 50%. Not frozen, the cute little data images were flying into the drive, but it said 50% with 3 hours left.....50% with 4 hourse left....50% with 5 hours left....it just sat there for 4 hours like that at 50%. It had stopped copying data even though it said "copying volume data over existing volume".
But no error messages at all. It "looked" like it was working. Never saw anything like that with SSR in the past. I had it set to not expand the drive size as that has not worked for me in the past either, but it never even got to that point. I also did not check "Verify image" on the restore since I had just verified it a few hours earlier.
Now this is a secondary drive that is not my main boot or main data drive I am replacing but what if it was?
Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated. If I made the image with SSR2013 R2 via desktop program can I restore with a pre-R2 boot disc? At least that worked every time I used it?
Don't know what else to try. Pretty frustrating after renewing support for more than one license and not having a lot of faith right now.
I know I can call support.....and I will if I have to. However this is not something they can screen-share and see happen which is their preference. It is during a cold boot restore.
Thanks,
BJB
Dear All,
