    Backup Exec Education

    The best education is to have an unlimited support contract. The first year of using backup exec I would call them 3 times a week and ask questions about everthing. I called it my daily lesson. My support contract is about $350 for the year a great price.

    Backup Exec ... There must be a better solution!!!

    We use the V2i along with backup exec 8.6. They give you a great combo. It is like ghosting raid 5. We have tested it and it works. We only use the V2i for a few critical servers taking snapshots maybe once a week. We can restore the machine and then use BE to put it back to the coreect time...

    Restore whole box/server

    First you will restore the operating system. Restore it to a work group, not the domain. You need to get the c: drive up and running first. Then get it on the domain and add the rest of the drives and data. It should take you a couple of restores. Don't try to put it all back at one time on the...

    Backing up SQL what should i back up ?

    That is correct if you have the MSQL in the selections you will select that. However, if you also check of the entire drive where the sql data is you will be wasting time and space. It is not neccesary to back up the data folder under sql. The agent will do this for you. This folder is slow to...

    Overall rating of Veritas by those of you who've used it for awhile?

    I have been using BE for 2 years and have not failed to restore data or a server that has crashed. I lost 2 sql servers and 1 exchange server due to hardware. I was able to put all 3 back in hours. The BE is really a data protection device. I also use Powerquest V2 to take ghost images of...

    MS Exchange (Backup Exec)

    Sure, you can backup the exchange server. You will not be able to put the mail database back the way it was. The exchange agent is actually an open file option for exchange. Since exchange and the mail database are always open veritas backup exec can not correctly take a snapshot of the data. To...

    BackUp Exec - Plan to Centralized backup

    When you make your selections to back up the sql server is there an option for MS SQl Server in the backup selections. If so this is the sql agent. You actually have to deselect the data folder under the normal drive. The sql agent is basically like an open file option it takes a snapshot of the...

    Veritas wont start

    I have called veritas on this one. They were pointing to hardware issues. They had me update the firmware for the tape drive. Also to change the speed on the SCSI device channel to 5 in SCSI utilities. It was at 60. Do you have any type of media set settings that could be giving you problems. I...

    Username Problems

    Did you change the adminstator or the backup account. The backup account is tied to the backup exec services on the media server. You might want to reset those logon passwords. I have a complex backup account password and rarely changeit so I do not run into problems like you are having.

    Backup 2 different servers simultaneously ??

    The processor is not the bottleneck it is the tape drives speed at writing. Network traffic thru 1 nic card doesnt even matter. I was debating on going to gigabit on a separate backbone using static separate ip's just for backup. I figured out it would not help. I am waiting on tape speed.

    Backup 2 different servers simultaneously ??

    Yes you can backup three different jobs on the backup server running 2 tape drives and to disk folder. The backing up to disk is not as great as it seems. You can only restore disk backups from the disk. In otherwords if you backed to disk and copied those to tape, you could not restore from the...

    Backup 2 different servers simultaneously ??

    You may only run 1 job per backup device. I have a dlt auotloader connected to backup server. I also have a internal 4mm tape drive. I can run jobs at the same time on these different devices. I also have a 175gig raid 5 drive on backup server and can backup to disc at the same time tape jobs...

    Could not attach to Exchange Server

    Microsoft Exchange System Manager component must be installed on the media server. This is in addition to Exchange agent being installed.

    Unable to initialize remote agent - Performing standard backup.

    I would suggest getting a service contract. Mine costabout $450 for unlimited year of support with lots of agents and options. For your issue I have a question are you sure you have matching agents per version. In other words does your Backup Server have build 3878 and your remote agent on your...
