Understanding GRT Backup and Restore functionality in Symantec Backup Exec
Dev T | 08 May 2010 | 3 comments

The simplest way to understand the granular restore functionality is to go through a simple step-by-step description of the way this works in each case. The primary differences to take note of are the differences between the backup-to-disk method and the backup-to-tape method.

Backup to Disk of an Exchange Information Store database with GRT enabled goes through the following steps:

1. GRT backup requests backup data from Exchange server
2. BE Media Server Creates IMG folders in B2d location
3. Data is sent from Exchange server to BE Media Server (unless local)
4. Media Server also requests current ESE.dll version from Exchange Server and writes this to the IMG folder
5. Finally, a test is run against the database using the VFF (virtual file filter EDBProv.dll)
6. The VFF uses ESE.dll to read the Exchange database to make sure it is consistent and that we can recover data from it
7. Backup reports...

Hardware Encryption for LTO4 Tapes
pkh | 07 May 2010 | 0 comments

Exchange GRT Copy to Tape fails ...
Martin_Forster | 15 Apr 2010 | 0 comments

Hello,

i had a fine working Exchange GRT Backup to Disk. Everything worked even single mail restore.
Now imagine what happened during the copy to tape ?

Yes, "Access Denied"
or more detailed:
V-79-57344-33928 - Access is denied. Access denied to directory .
 V-79-57344-766 - Cannot log on to MAPI with the specified credentials. Review the resource credentials for the job, and then run the job again.

Exchange 2007 is on W2KR2 installed.
Media Server BE2010 is on W2K8R2 installed.

CraigV | 29 Jan 2010 | 2 comments

Laters!
