Does anyone know how to pass the return code of the Backup Exec job down to its post command script? I basically need a way to have the post command script run one set of commands if the backup job success or another set of commands if the backup job fails.
Thanks in advance.

My first impression is that I can't do a backup of a machine running the BE 12.5 agent from BE 2010, and I can't do a push install over the older agent. Not cool. I expect that I should be able to push a newer agent over the older one.

Hi,
I'm currently running one EV 8.0 SP2 server to archive Exchange mailboxes. I want to deploy a second EV server in the same site to start archiving our file server (to distribute the work load between the two servers). Can someone tell me (or point me to any documentation) on how to add another EV server to the existing site? Is it as simple as installing EV on the second server, running through the Configuraton Wizard to add it to the site, then configuring file system archiving? Or are there more steps involved? Thanks in advance....

Event error 7264 is being logged about every 30 minutes on one of my EV servers. The exact verbiage is:
Abnormal error occurred
Error: The handle is invalid. [0x80070006]
Reference: CSynchronizerThread/TR/dh
Index:
Info:
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://evevent.symantec.com/rosetta/showevent.asp
Is this article valid for EV 8 SP1 running on Win2k8 x64?
http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/304021.htm
I checked and none of the indexes are marked as failed.... yet. I restarted the Index service which I thought may help, at least temporarily, but the errors came back 8 minutes later. Any other advice would be welcome too.

I have 3 domain controllers in 3 different offices, connected via WAN links. The users share in the other 2 office replilcates to a share on my local server using dfs for backup purposes. I have selected the local share (not the DFS Root directory) but none of the user folders or files are backed up to tape. Any suggestions would be helpful.

trying to get the above to be recognized as a robotic library, but with no sucess. I've got it working as a stand-alone, but that's not what I need.
2-part qustion.
1. Is this autoloader compatible with 8.6?
2. How can I get BE 8.6 to recongize it as a robotic library?
Thanks in advance!

I have sdlt2 tapes and some of them are not that old. I have checked other posting regarding the status 84. SCSI is working. Tape drive works with other tapes. I have cleaned the tape heads but I have several tapes that can not be used. How would I check the tapes before I commit them to the circular file? I have seen one article to update net backup to 6.5.4. I am running nbu 6.5.

Does anyone know if it is possible to generate this page as a report and if so how?
The page I am referring to is this:
settings > global settings > agent configuration > show all agent status > click on the particular agent > then click on "show agent summary"

After using this for a few months now, I would like to see a button on the agent status page to re-poll all the data collectors at one time. This would make it really easy to poll all the data collectors at one time (after fixing problems or what ever reason you need) than going through each data collector and clicking the poll button.
Thanks

I remember using some key combination would present you with an advanced option menu within the SRD environment giving you other options during a Restore job, however I do not remember what the key combos were and now I can't seem to find those options. Can someone help me with this one. As a hint, I remember one of the special options being related to not scanning for new drivers during a Restore Anywhere job.
Thanks and sorry for my lack of clarity on it as I haven't used the options in a while.

All,
When launching the install, everything is proceeding normally and when nearing the end of the install this is the message I'm getting:
Starting the NetBackup Notification Service.
Starting the NetBackup database manager process (bpdbm).
The NetBackup daemon process (bpdbm) was not started.
Check the services configuration -- files, YP, NIS, or NIS+.
Enter <RETURN> to continue, "x" to exit.
Could this error be causing the jnbSA administration console from loading?
Thanks, Dave

I'm a bit fuzzy on the following items for upgrdinging to ::---> 6.5.4
a:: How do I convert vault settings to a format that 6.5.4 uses....
b:: nbpushdata ::---> when to run, where to run....
Do I run just on the master? On the media servers?
c:: Remove all files in dir ::---> /usr/openv/netbackup/remote_versions
Why exactly does this need to be done?
d:: I would like to prevent jobs from kicking off under 6.5.4 Whats the best way to perform this?
Thanks....

We currently upgraded from backup exec 11d to backup exec 12.5 sp3. Applied all patches updates, etc and pushed out the latest remote backup agent to all servers being backed up,
another words, we thought everything was the same except the version, same backup jobs, same files to be backed up, but...
we noticed a signaficantly reduced backup speed to tape to complete the 2 night jobs we run. My HP LTO2 drive was getting 750-800 mb/min and my HP LTO3 drive was getting 1100-1150 mb/min
for their respective jobs. After the upgrade, my LTO2 is getting 550-575 mb/min and my LTO3 is getting 850-875 mb/min.??
I saw a similar post about upgrading the drivers for the tape drives to symantec drivers, so we did that with no affect on the speed.
I've heard 12.5 sp3 is faster than 11d, not slower, everything else is EXACTLY the same, we're lost on this one.
media server is also the domain controller - windows 2003 32bit server R2, backup up windows 32 bit and 64 bit R2 servers?
We are...

Hi all,
our situation is the following: we have EV8 sp2 running with 2 different vault stores, one for exchange 2007 archiving and the other for file system archiving. Both vault stores are in the same vault store group with sharing level enabled within the entire group.
We are archiving exchange journaling in the same vault store used for user mailbox archiving.
Now we'd like to create a new vault store within the group and use it for journaling archiving, using more partitions mounted via network share for automatic rollover. Within this partinion we won't enable collactions.
When every year the partion rollover will occour we want to backup the closed partition to tape and the erase data from disk. In case we need to search in journaling archive for data not available on disk we can schedule a manual restore.
Is it possible to do that? How does EV works when a closed partition is currently defined and indexed but data has been removed from disk?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Andrea...

Hello everyone!
I hope that I'll get good here - I very need answer for the next question:
What is the best way to optimize backup and data transfer between 37 computers. We're using windows, we have shared storage for 30TB and low budget.
Thank you!

As it is now, it seems that EVSVR starts running, which is being logged in the logfile.
Then, you do not see anything in the logfile until it is finished.
It would be nice to get a message in the logfile every x (10?) minutes stating "Still busy, go have a coffee" or something.
Especially verifying/repairing larger stores/databases, it would be nice to know that it is still doing something.
Thanks,

Hello,
I also have (see previous post)
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Enterprise Vault
Event Category: Storage File Watch
Event ID: 6511
Date: 20-11-2009
Time: 12:50:20

Description:
Error deleting WatchFile database record for missing Saveset file

I found artivle to verify using evsvr. I assume after running I have to do some repairing. Should I use (BlackListBadSISPart)?
The backup of this store has not run succesfully for a few days, and I am reluctant to restore the database, and take it from there.
Thanks,
Gertjan

I use Backup Exec 10d to manage a daily and two weekly backups.
We have 4 tape drives IBM1, IBM2, IBM3 and IBM4. There are two cascaded Drive Pools, each containing two tape drives.
The daily backup runs on the first of the 4 tape drives, IBM1.
On Fridays, I manually pause the tape drive IBM2 to force the weekly backup to start on tape drive IBM1 so that it will be finished with this tape drive by Monday for the daily backup to run.
On Sundays, I manually unpause the tape drive IBM2 to ensure that the backup can continue.
Does anyone know the command line to pause/unpause the tape drive?

Hi!
Does anyone have a link for the release notes for BE 12.5 SP3?
Presently the document at: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/337373.htm does not contain a link for the release notes...
