Have a look @ this KB - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...
I cannot view the job log, however the above KB should explain.
I understand that Windows is problem, the KB tells me there is no response.
There are couple of workarounds listed in the KB...In case, you are unable to view the KB, here is a verbatim ~
Disable GRT option for the backup job of the problem virtual machine.
OR
Run a direct backup of the virtual machine using the Remote Agent instead of the AVVI option.
A Symantec systentada solution on this problem ... I can not even make the backup of a virtual machine 4TB ...
How is this virtual machine configured ?
Is the disk on a RDM LUN ?
BTW can you post the exact errormessage, but not in a RAR file ?
And what ESX version are you running on ?
If this response answers your concern, please mark it as a "solution"
Need to have some more info about your storage.
Normaly a VMDK can be 2 TB maximum. Maybe that is the reason something goes wrong.
If this response answers your concern, please mark it as a "solution"
There may also be issues with 4k sector sizes within the VM (typical of larger drives)
So if vmware can not have a snapshot of 4tb, worse will be able to create the symantec backup, seeing that scenario, what would be the best recommendation???
