I want to know what I need to backup in BE (10.d) in case the BE server we have goes down. I don't want to have to recreate the jobs, tape catalogs, histories, etc. We have 2 BE servers, so I can have one backup the other if need be. Servers are Win2k3. Thanks.
 
program files\veritas\backup exec\NT\DATA and CATALOGS folder.

 
Its in the data folder. There is a file called bedb.bak file in that directory thats a backup of the sql database that is dumped everynight. Or you can use the sql agent to backup the instance from your other media server.
 
Is there anything else I need to backup that you can think of, or will this pretty much let me restore BE if the BE server crashes? Thanks so much stevot.
