Backup Exec: Move to machine with different operating system
DominikG | 25 Nov 2009 | 0 comments
The available knowledge base article to move a Backup Exec server to another machine does not help you, if the new machine runs on a different OS, e.g. 64-bit operating system.
I noticed that many users do not know of a useful option in Backup Exec, named “copy server configurations”. With this free option and my following guide, you will be able to copy your existing Backup Exec server onto a new machine with different operating system.
 
If both servers are present, you could use the following steps to copy your data:

please note:

Go to "Tools" -> "Install options and license keys on this media server" and check if the free option to copy server configuration, named "copy server configurations", is installed on the media server. If not, please install it.

Server migration story with BESRO 8.5.2 SRD
Albert Widjaja | 28 Apr 2009 | 3 comments

Yesterday night, while doing server hardware migration using Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8.5.2 System Recovery Disk I learnt few things:

This is using cold backup method:

1. During the Backup process, it will ask for serial number.
2. Each partition will be created as single .v2i, there will be no .sv2i file as in the hot backup (this .sv2i file could've been easier if the cold backup is able to do this :-| ).
3. the restored physical server image will adjust itself to deployment LUN size.

and the most important lesson of the day is that: Error: E0BB014B: Volume Not Found was supposedly fixed in version 8.5.3

“Thinking About Disaster Recovery?”
Dano Oliveira | 13 Mar 2009 | 5 comments
As a product manager for Backup Exec I have the pleasure of talking to many of our customers and partners in the field. It’s fascinating to hear about the latest backup strategy, with the newest hardware and the way customers use our product to secure good backups. On the other hand, what concerns me is the lack of strategy when it comes to disaster recovery.
 
When I did IT work, which wasn’t too long ago, I remember having to rebuild a server from scratch when it crashed. True, I had my data secure, but the time it took to rebuild that server cost the customer or company money. It was very painful; I remember having to locate the drivers disc, install the OS again, get everything updated, reinstall the apps, configure everything, etc… and then restore the data.   After that, I had to make sure everything was synced and then reconfigure the backup job.
 
Of course this is just...
