Yet another newbie question here. I will be running BESR 8.5 Desktop edition on a peer-to-peer network that consists of two computers (running Win XP Home) and one NAS device (Netgear ReadyNAS).
Can I install BESR solely on computer A and make a complete backup, including operating system, of computer B to the NAS?
Or do I need to install BESR locally on each computer I want to backup completely, including operating system?
Thanks in advance.

So, like you perhaps already know, the new version of Backup Exec System Recovery got released; Backup Exec System Recovery 2010. Some things changed, that are really important. For example the Manager no longer exists. This solution got replaced by Backup Exec System Recovery Management Solution.
I do not want to give a summary of the differences or pros and contras, I only want to talk about one fact that, in my opinion, is a absolute disaster:
If I'm not wrong (and I really searched all the information to this issue) you will be not able to migrate you storage destinations, jobs, schedules and so on from the Manager into the Management Solution. This means, that you will have to re-create you whole backups again!
Why in the world is that not possible? I already know customers of ours who will definitely go crazy.
The only information I found is, that you can migrate from BESR Solution to BESR Management Solution. Alright, great. So where is the difference and why...

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.

Hi All,
I'd like to know if this is possible to do or not ?
I've got several partitions, namely OS 50 GB, Database 500 GB and Log 150 GB
not all of them is full, the total data usage is around 95 GB and I'd like to restore it into single partitions of 350 GB new RAID-1 LUN, How can i do this ?
since each partitions is saved into each own file and one file can only have one single destination ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am testing BESR and tried to backup our Exchange 2003 server today, aftewr about 6% the systems seems to freeze and I could not do anything with it. Even after ending the program the server was still unusable until i did a hard reboot.
Any ideas what could be causing this, the server is 5 yrs old but onlt has 70 mailboxes so it not under a massive load.
Do you need tohave plenty of drive space available, i.e does the system cache the backup on the system 1st so if the Exchange db is say 50GB you will need atleast 50GB spare on the drive?
The backup was standard except i ticked the VSS option
Any guidance is appreciated.

Newbie question here. I will be running BESR 8.5 Desktop edition on a peer-to-peer network that consists of two computers (running Win XP Home) and one NAS device (Netgear ReadyNAS). The readme file says:
If you are using a network location as your backup destination, make sure that you have provided a valid network user name and password.
If I intend to back up from the comuters to the NAS, do I need a "valid network user name and password." So far as I am aware, I don't have passwords on my peer-to-peer networking.
TIA.

On one server running BESR 8.5.5 and the Altiris BESR NS Agent. There's an "orphaned" backup job on the server that I cannot delete or modify, the backup job was created and pushed on many server using the Altiris "BESR Integration Component". I tried disabling all backup jobs in Altiris hoping this would make the job disapear, it did on every servers with this backup job assigned to it but it didn't disappear on one specific server. Can I manually delete a backup job that is locked by the Altiris Console? Would completely reinstalling BESR on the server fix the problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I recently trialled the Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery Management Console application that allows you to manage multiple servers running Backup Exec System Recovery (Version 8.0).
We found it was not really that reliable and decided to un-install the Management Console and also the client software installed on each server.
The problem now is that the Backup Exec System Recovery application still says that it is being managed by the Management Console, if you try to edit a scheduled back up the following message is shown:
The backup job Drive (Backup name) is controlled by a central management system. Contact your system administrator.
So we are un-able now to edit / ammend existing backup schedules.
I have removed the Backup Exec System Recovery Management client software from each server and have re-booted each server, and still cannot control / ammend our backups.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I searched issues for my problem in many threads but no solutions.
Here it is :

I've been looking into BESRS 2010 and I'm interested to know how this product would work with a Virtual Host Server running Server Core and HyperV.
We have a number virtual host servers with each having a number of virtual machines/servers. We would like to schedule periodic backups of the host servers but want to minimize downtime.
Could BESRS be a possible solution for this?
Thanks for any information you can provide.

I have configured the SMTP email messaging which works. The problem I have is that the email message doesn't tell me anything about which computer send the notification. Please consider adding a text field that could be appended to the email message so that we would know which computer had a problem and not have to check everyone that uses Backup Exec System Recovery.

I am trying to use the Trialware and figure out how to 'rollout' BESR 2010. I did find out how to do it in V8.5 but then while I was testing that, Symantec released V2010. It apears that 2010 comes with Altaris's Management Console.
Now that I have the Management console installed, what do I do to rollout BESR?
Thanks

Hello all,
I have a small issue. We use BESR (7-8.5.3. I so need to update all the servers) to backup our servers to near-line storage and then use our tape system to backup up those files to tape for off-site storage. What we're running into is this. We use a script to pull the iv2i files from the near-line location to different tapes. We are looking for $servername_XXXX.iv2i. Some of our servers are backed up to different tapes for DR purposes and for easier maintenance. The problem I'm having is some of the servers are not prepending with the server name for all the drives being backed up. I need set this in BESR and I can't find the option. Does anyone know where this setting is? I can't seem to find it for the life of me either during the job setup or in the options of the program.
Thank you
Peace

Of couse, this is the feature that already exist in other software such as TSM Fastback and Acronis. But I think it should also available within BESR and BEWS.
Let say that when you submit restore job and the restored files/system suddenly accessible. The blocks that requested by application will be redirected to the backed up copy while the restore job running in background until finish.
In case of BESR, after you submit the restore job. The system reboot to Windows system and start working while the restore job working in background. Of course, the performance of Windows (and application) on restoring system should be effected. But thinking of very very reduced RTO to nearly zero, I think that it worth.

After installation BESR 8.5.3 it's not possible to make a normal restart of our Server with Windows 2003 R2 Stanard SP2.
You can use special tools, or a script with "shutdown.exe" or do it manual. It doesnot work.
The server is hanging up when he is going down. And the you have always to push the "reset-button" on the Server.
And if you deinstall the BESR, you can restart the server without any problem.
Anyone an idea whats happend ?

We are looking for a way to do this - either via running the setup.exe somehow or with pushing an MSI.
But - we need to just install the agent, and silently without reboot. How can this be done with the MSI?
Thanks much,

I need to migrate my hardware platform. Current hw has {on a single physical volume} WinXP Pro on primary partition C:, extended partition with WinXP Pro on logical drive D:, applications are installed on logical drive E:, and data is keep on logical drive F:.
I’ve done a backup of c:, d:, e:, and f: with restore anyware licensed. I can do a restore of all the volumes. C: boots properly and I can get the required drivers to install. D: will boot but gets BSOD and immediate reboot. I can boot d: in safe mode with networking and install all the needed drivers (based on Device Manager showing no ? devices). However, d: will not boot in normal mode (get BSOD, but it happens so fast I cannot see error code/info).
Looking for ideas on how to resolve.

Whenever I try to install LightsOut Restore using the easyinstaller it always fails. I get the message saying i should look at the log files in the folder Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data etc.
I have tried to include the LightsOut Restore in a complete easyinstaller package (with everything in it), when i tried to install this, the same thing happend. So then I tried to only include LightsOut Restore in an easyinstaller package, once again the installation failed. Then i tried downloading the easyinstaller package for LightOut Restore from the Download Center which can be accessed in the BESRM by clicking Tools > Client download information, once again, installation fails. So then i tried to install it manually on a pc using the Recovery Disk, It worked like a charm.
So, it works manually, but our company is quite big. I cant possibly go to all outside locations and install this manually on every server we got. This has to be do-able with the...

1. How long is the trialware good for??
2. WILL Symantec release BESR 2010 within the next 30-60 days?? I don't want the trialware to expire.
3. Regarding the GRO option, I understand that the readme says that Outlook 2003 or 2007 must be installed onto the Exchange 2003 server. Can GRO function without Outlook 2003 installed??
4. For using GRO, what does this mean?? "Outlook 2003 or 2007 must be configured to support message forwarding."
Is there some special setting for this within Outlook 2003??
Is this the same as clicking the 'Forward' button on an email message??
Thank you, Tom

Hi All,
I'm about to downsize my Exchange Server 2007 SP1 which is also resides in my Domain Controller, it is now using less than 400 GB spread across 4 different partitions:
Dell utility partition 50 MB
C:\ OS 50 GB
D:\ Database 200 GB
F:\ Empty 0 MB
L:\ TransactionLOG 800 MB
it is now installed on 5x400 GB SAS 10k rpm RAID 5,
The target server is the same specs but the Hard Disk is 2x 400 GB SAS 10k RPM RAID 1 which give me around 378 GB of usable space.
How shall I proceed with the backup and restoration ?
Should I backup using the Online BESRO 8.5 into another USB hard disk while the OS still working or cold boot using the SRD ?
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Dear all experts,
I am going to boot the HP Server from SAN and I have already backup/restore the OS to SAN disk. However, it can't boot up and return an error message "Non-system disk or disk error". I did below setting at bios and HBA bios setting:
At bios:
Boot Controller Order - Select HBA card to Ctlr:1
At HBA bios setting:
Enable Host Adapter Bios and selected SAN Lun
Enable Selectable Boot Settings
I am looking forward to hear some idea from all of the experts.
Many Thanks,
Dico
