Hi

Q1: I would like to ask if what license does  File server or NDMP data server  backup need or consumes.

Q2: Does it use RAWS license even if agent is not installed?

I used BELAT.exe but it is not that accurate.

Hope you can clean my thoughts on this.

I need a solution

We have a DD4200 with OST and VTL.  The VTL is for NDMP only, the VTL Drives are connected to the Backup Accelerator Device connected to the EMC ISILON NAS.  I tried quick erase but seeing as the media server doesn't really control the tape drives. it failed.

How can I reclaim space from the VTL tapes on the DD4200 if we only have NDMP drives? 

Thanks

External SAS storage array on BE3600 R2

$

I need a solution

I've been using a BE 3600 appliance for a couple of years now and I keep running up against the deduplication store filling the internal storage array. I'd like to attach an external storage array with more disk and move my deduplication store onto the external array. Since SAS is way faster than USB I'd prefer to utilize the external SAS connection that is currently laying fallow. Does anyone know if the SAS HBA supports external disk arrays in addition to tape devices? I know that many years ago I ran up against a parallel SCSI adapter that would only support tape devices, ignoring any disks attached, and I'm hoping that's not the case here. I've been unable to locate anything in the appliance documentation that states if this is an option. The adapter installed is a LSI SAS2 2008 Falcon Storport.

Also, if anyone has done this and has a recommendation for an external array they're pleased with, I'm open to suggestions.

Backup Exec 2012 Agent Licensing

$

I need a solution

We have one Backup Exec 2012 Server in our infrastructure with 9 Agents for Windows installed.  This is an environment that I have taken over and there is little documentation at this point as far as the licensing is concerned.  After inventorying our servers it turns out that we have 14 servers running the BE Windows agent but I am not seeing any errors being generated on the BE server that we are overdeployed on agents.  How does the BE server handle and police the Windows agent licensing?  Is there a way to determine which of our servers are using the 9 installed licenses we have and which ones are not? Even though we have 9 licenses, only two of our 14 servers are actually being backed up by BE right now.  If we have the agent installed on 14 servers, then I would imagine that we are over-deployed by 5, but the BE server doesn't appear to be picking up on this.  My goal is to be compliant and either buy more licenses or uninstall the agent from the 5 servers that really aren't reporting into the BE server.  I just can't determine at this point which ones those are.  Would greatly appreciate anyone's assistance on this.

Thanks!

Dear  Team,

I had an issue with syamntec backup exec 2012:

1. SBE can not compress the backup when the cartridge and tape backup capabilities we already support for 
   compressed backups up to 1,6TB
2. Can not overwrite the cartridge so we had to reformat the cartridge if we do backup , 
   but with tools inherited from the NT backup server 2003 has been able to do these two issues

Tape Backup:  built in IBM HH LTO Gen 4

Cartridge Backup : IBM LTO4 PN 95P4436 800GB uncompressed/ 1.6T compressed
