Support has told me that the VMware agent does not backup the snapshots of a machine and only backs up the main vmdk.  This should be standard practice to backup all the data before the snapshot it performs, VMDK and Deltas vmdk files.

While the retention attribute in a schedule is ignored when backing up to a SLP, the "Schedules" section in the "Policies" tab still displays a retention value. In the schedule settings the retention section is grayed out as expected. Having the retention period display a value is misleading and can lead to issues when changing the policies STU without adjusting the retention level appropriately. Symantec Support explained this is designed behavior, "this behavior ...

On Netbackup 7.1.0.2, GRT Exchange backups cannot be expanded if they were migrated from Exchange 2003 or 2007. However, jobs finish successfully with status 0.   Please throw a GRT failure flag for 7.1.0.2 users, there is NO other way for us to find out there's a problem until we attempt a restore.   Thanks,   -Jesse

But i disliked the way analytics is playing role on ONLY CUSTOMIZING reporting (with additional features chargeback.traditional license deployment utility (though never worked for me)....etc.. Even though basic report are not what ACTUALLY pre defined templates are serving now... I mean this should not lead to a ...

Hello, IE9 has been released for almost a year now. It is the most secure IE browser and System Recovery Management Console should support it. I need to install the console on a Win 2008 server that has IE9 already installed and the prerequisite fails because I don't have IE7 or IE8 installed. Windows server 8 will surely come preinstalled with IE9. Please release a hot fix or patch for IE9 compatibility. Thank you, Gary

I'd like to suggest a color code scheme for the "Preview Media" button. When I set up a restore, it's great that I can preview the tape I'm going to need to perform the restore, but the preview media function doesn't tell me if the tape is actually in a library. I'd like the preview media button to still give me the tape number, but if the tape is in the library, the tape number shows up in green. This tell me immediately that the tape is in the library and this ...

Would like the ability to report or list files backed up at job level by querying the catalog database.    This would be useful in a differential or incremental job to see which files were backed up.   From tech support the workaround is to go to Tools, Options, Job Logs and set it to report on files instead of just Summary information only.   This would be nice if could be set at job level as on a typical full backup I will have millions of files ...

Apologies if this is the incorrect are to log this:   Is there any way that EV archive deletion can be improved? currently in EV 8 SP5 you have to do one archive at a time in the GUI or get messy with SQL code. Is there any improvement in EV 9 or 10 for this?   I am currently in the process of deleting several thousand archives (to reclaim almost a TB of disk space) and due to the limitations in the VAC and limited SQL knowledge it is proving awkward to achieve.   I ...
