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.

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.

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!

Hello, Iam testing the Desaster Recovery for an Windows Exchange 2007 Server running on a 64bit Windows2003 Machine. Iam using BE 12.5. I set up a testing Enviroment, with our Active Directory. Then I set up a BE 12.5 (testing version) in this enviroment too. Then I set up a Wind2003 64bit on a new machine for the recovery test. I copied the IMG and B2D files containing the Image and SystemStae of our live Server to the Server in the testing enviroment. Servername: srv-mail-01 Domain: whatever.mydom -- examples of course :-) I followed the steps unt No. 10 in this document for recovering the system State and so on... http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/236286.htm Here is the problem now: When I try to recover the server BE does not find it. I guess because BE is looking for srv-mail-0.whatever.mydom and the "new" server wich si still in the workgroup has the name srv-mail-01 WITHOUT the domain? File redirection seems not to work, its just coping the files to the server...

Hi All, A few weeks back my installation of Wise Installation System 9 started hanging when I tried to close the program. I can compile and work on scripts but when I try to close the program it hangs completely. If I open the task manager while it is hung it states tha that application is not responding. I tried un-installing and reinstalling the software but this has not corrected the issue. It doesn't matter if I open an existing script or open a fresh script the program never closes without the process being killed.   Please help! Cheers, Austin

Hi Gurus,                     Currently i am using 2 servers each with 2 hard disks. as per veritas suggested, as i should not replicate the OS disk, i am installing my product on the second disk. Hence replicating only the second disk. Now, I want to do one setup with same 2 server model, but only difference i want to replicate one partition alone. i.e., in C driver i have my OS and D drive in which i am going to install the prodcut which has to be replicated. and both these drives are placed under the same Hard disk. is anyone made setup like this so far ? IF so can you guide me how to do this ? Thanks, Sri

Hello all, I have a server that acts as a common gateway for my support staff.  All of our clients have PcAnywhere hosts running and our support server is only used to connect to these hosts using PcAnywhere client. The support staff RDP's into the support server then starts PcAnywhere and remotes into other clients. It works about 95% of the time without issue.  The problem that I run into is that every once in a while the PcAnywhere connection is dropped and then the person that dropped the connection cannot reconnect while others on the same support server can. Logging off of RDP then logging back in sometime corrects the problem.  Other times, the support person needs to log off of the RDP session, reboot their PC then RDP back in an like magic they can connect again. Has anyone ever experienced this problem?  If so, was there a resolution that you found? Here are the specs of the support server. Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2  with all...

I would like to be able to generate a report on the usage of the individual components of Microsoft Office. Currently, I noticed that excel, powerpoint, etc are catalogued under one application name: "Microsoft Office XP". I've checked the AeXAMInventory.txt and AeXAMDiscovery.txt file and both files seem to list these components as Microsoft Office XP. Is there a way to modify the software metering configuration on the client so that the individual components can be catalogued under their own application name ? Or to have a runtime report that lists these components individually ? We're running Altiris Notification Server 6.5 ...

I'm currently in a pickle where I was advised that the 10TB of VTL space my firm leases in our managed datacenter will be migrated to a new frame in the next 6 weeks, which in reality gives me to two weeks, since I keep everything on disk for a month.  Due to additional circumstances tied into the migration which are outside of our control I've been asked to come up with alternatives.  Currently I use SLP's to cut to tape once a month.  Environment has two servers, Master/Media Server w/VTL & Media Server with fiber attached MSL4048.  I have no SSO for tape so it duplicates over the LAN.    That being said I found Symantec rolled up the VTL per TB licenses into flexible disk so I now have the option to leverage 10-15TB's of available HDS WMS space into a disk solution.  17 white papers, 4 manuals, 3 best practices guides, 19 cups of coffee and 7 aspirins later I decided I have two... really one viable option. ...

Hi! I use BackupExec 12.5 with all/latest Updates on Windows Server 2003 with all/latest Updates. In recent times i get mails from the backup server with the following message(s): "Der Wechselmediendienst kann die Bibliothek Tape0 nicht verwalten. Die Datenbank ist beschädigt." and "Der Wechselmediendienst kann die Bibliothek Tape1 nicht verwalten. Die Datenbank ist beschädigt." Free translated: The changer-service can not manage library tape0/1. The database is corrupt/damaged/broken. Could anyone tell me more about the message/about the mentioned libraries? Thanky you with the best greetings!!

I am running Backup Exec 12 and am having an issue with Backup Exec resetting the archive bit after a backup to tape job. The job is running under a GFS policy the monthly and weekly jobs are set to Full backups and to reset the archive bit and the daily is set for Incremental and also resets the archive bit.    Let me explain what I am doing to clarify the setup. We use Lightspeed to compress and backup SQL databases to a file share. Once the files are on the file server we use Backup Exec to backup the files to tape and reset the archive bit.   Once the archive bit is flipped we use a script to delete any files older than 2 days.     I just found some files from June that has been backed up to tape for months but the job is not resetting the archive bit.   Other files in the same folder get the archive bit reset, I checked the properties, security and attributes on the files and the only difference is the archive attribute...

One trick I use to speed up my daily administration involves using some IE search prefixes.  Basically these allow you to type a short keyword followed by your search term and hit enter to go to a site.  You can set these using TweakUI in the Internet Explorer > Search section, or manually create them in the registry.   A few I use on a daily basis are "akb #####" to go to Altiris KB articles, "mskb ######" to go to MS KB articles, and "bulletin 09-062" to go to a particular security bulletin.  You can save each "Code" section below as a .reg file and merge it into your own registry to set these up.  So then you can type "akb 50212" into your Address bar and go directly to Altiris KB article 50212.  Hopefully someone else finds these as convenient as I do.

Hi, Is it possible to have an existing 32-bit WSI that uses a 64-bit merge module? Right now, when compile the 32-bit WSI with the 64-bit MSM it build the MSI with no problem.  When I run that MSI, the install fails when it gets to running the 64-bit MSM items.   Any help would be appreciated.

I've used the default media rotation policy in Backup Exec 12.5 to create daily, weekly and monthly jobs. So three jobs. I'd like each job to work off of a different selection list.  Basically I don't want to backup the system state of remote servers during the daily job.  Is this possible? It looks like all three jobs (Daily, Weekly and Monthly) are linked to the same selection list. If I edit the selection for the Daily job it changes the Weekly as well.

I have a file server currently has windows compression enabled.  Does this affect SIS at all?  Does Enterprise Vault uncompress the file before storing it in the Vault Store? According to the compatibility guides: . An archived file that was originally compressed with Windows compression will be recalled uncompressed when accessed through FSA. The recalled file cannot be re-compressed with Windows compression due to a Microsoft limitation An archived file that was originally compressed with Windows compression will be recalled uncompressed when accessed through FSA.
