Hi:
I have a 2008 R2 server with BE 12.5 fully patched. I'm running jobs just fine to a few RD1000 cartridges. What I would like to do is take the completed backup (copy job or regular full that run to the cartridges) fom the 2008 R2 server and plug it into a different 2008 server (not R2 but runs fully patched BE 12.5) and run the contents of the RD1000 cartridge off to the LTO2 tape drive that is connected to that server for long term backups. The problem is when I connect the RD1000 cartridges up to the 2008 server they do not show up as a drive letter. If I go to storage manager in windows it wants me to initialize it as if it's new media. If I put the cartridge back into the 2008 R2 server I can read the data on it just fine in explorer and in BE.
Any ideas why this happens? Maybe I'm just missing something simple?
thanks

The bpend is not executing the hot_end.bat script, do you know if the "start" command can be executed inside this script? or how to do it?
set newDate=%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~10%
set arg=TEST
start C:\oracle\Dba\scripts\TEST\hot_backup_scripts\hot_end.bat
type "c:\oracle\Dba\logs\TEST\hot_backup_logs\%arg%.%newDate%.log" >> "c:\oracle\Dba\logs\historial\historial_test_hotbackup.log"

Basically we can't run all our Full backups on one night. The end result is that we have about 5 policies, each one has it's full backup on a different day. Incrementals are nightly unless a full takes priority.
To this I have about 5 backup sets, each set has 2-3 servers in it.
This works great, except for a few things.
Exports only need to occur on a weekly basis since we aren't required to export the incrementals, BE 12 has no way to accomodate this... I am trying to use bemcmd.exe and a SQL query to export tapes on the last job of the week, but still fighting some scripting issues which is a whole other topic!!
Other issue is the logs, I end up with SO many policies and logs.
I was thinking of breaking down my selection lists further, so instead of "set 1" which includes 2-3 servers, each server would have it's own selection list....
This would make the logging insane, so many logs... but it would be easy to look at metrics and find thigns in...

My Domain server has this problem 2 weeks ago. it worked fine before.
About every one day, the DC server will automatically create user's profile under "document and setting" in server. No roaming profile was set. when we have this problem, we cannot access the shared folder in server. Restart the server solve it temporary but about 10 hours later, same problem come again.
I searched the solutions for this problem, some one suggested uninstall symantec, so I stopped all symantec service in DC server, and seems the problem fixed.
we use symantec antivirus version 10.1.5.5002.
any one know how to fix it?
Any suggestion would be appreciated..
Thanks,
Ant

ENVY: Wishing the environment was more flexible and dynamic than it is
Now that Windows 7 is upon us, a familiar dread is falling over IT managers around the world. Staff levels are often barely sufficient to support daily maintenance tasks, leaving an OS migration to mean many extra hours and restless nights. First comes application retesting in every conceivable combination (in multiple images), application license reconciling, and system and personality backups. Then come the expected weeks and months of helpdesk calls and lost productivity, as users discover the many additional ways that their systems and applications may become unstable or unusable. All of this anticipation leads to envy of a hypothetical flexible environment where applications migrate without a hitch, systems dynamically configure themselves to the logged in user, and there are no sleepless nights.
Today, dreams of a flexible, dynamic computing environment are becoming a...

Hi symantec community,
I've been delving over PDFs and Manuals over all symantec and still cant get a straight response, even i tried to get email support (and telephone) and it redirects me to symantec connect.
The problem is that i need an official response from Symantec that Backup Exec 12.5 SP2 does not support security roles, and it depends entirely on windows permissions.
I know ofr fact that it is as im descrbing it, but still i need an official response for a report over an installation of Backup Exec.
anything that you recommend or require i'll be glad to help!
Thanks for your time!

Hi
I have got my server backing up to a local nas unit. The backups are working fine but when the drive gets full the backup job stalls due to lack of space. How do i set backup exec to remove old backups so that it will never fail on lack of space.

Hello
We have recently started having problems backing up Linux Home areas on a Windows Server 2003 machine running Backup Exec 12.5 SP2.
The following errors are:
Backup- E:
Directory E:\Shared.Folders\Home\xxxxx\ was not found, or could not be accessed.
None of the files or subdirectories contained within will be backed up.
This had been working fine and nothing appears to have changed.
I have checked folders and can access them ok and browse through them using the selection option in Backup Exec.
I hope someone can help
Many thanks

DS 6.9 SP2 (slowly moving to NS 7)
(One server running the DS software + PXE, as well as PXE running on the DHCP server as I wasn't able to get it to successfully run without the PXE services on the MS DHCP box.
Sometimes, I have noticed that when I schedule a job to a PC, and it reboots, the PC will fail to even see the PXE server.
I believe it gives the error PXE-E55: media test failure. It's weird because the PC is connected, and if I simply CTRL-ALT-DEL the PC when i see this, it will come up fine the next time around 100% of the time.
Could this be an issue with the PC? the Network? Switch?
Any ideas / suggestions about this?
Thanks!

My client purchased Symantec Endpoint Small Business suite.
Thus all client workstation have the Symantec backup client.
They would now like to both backup their Server and additionally have a central management backup console to manage backups within their environment.
Please indicate what are the licenses needed to backup the server and also to have a central backup console to manage all backup clients on the network.
Regards,

Does anyone know of a way to run an executable in wise script and ensure it is run from the ‘System’ account when run? We need to deploy a package and have it run with the SYSTEM rights.
We cannot find a method to do this through SCCM 2007 either.
If anyone could help out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Gluttony: Migrating more than you need to by not cleaning things up first
Organizations often use an OS migration as a time to evaluate the applications, software and other data files they have on the organization’s existing endpoints. They can also use this time to plan their go-forward imaging standards. Those organizations that don’t go through this evaluation and planning process may be migrating more than is necessary (gluttony) once they begin the migration process.
One of the first critical decisions will be determining the specific deployment standards and processes to be used during the migration and, optimally, on a go-forward basis. This could be a considerable undertaking depending on the organization and their existing processes. For example, some IT departments may manage 30+ images that quickly become a logistical nightmare, draining time and resources away from other, more critical issues. However that same company may only need five images to accomplish...

Based on the current SCL for Symantec BUExec 12.5, Backup Exec for Windows 12.5 supports Windows 2008 R2 with the release of HOTFIX 331998.
Windows 2008 R2 Support
- Added Support for Windows 2008 R2 Operating systems (File System, System State, Shadow Copy Components Only).
Windows 2008 R2 Features NOT supported
- Installing a full version of Backup Exec 12.5 as a media server on a Windows 2008 R2 Server.
[...]
Based on www.symantec.com/business/products/sysreq.jsp you fully support Microsoft Windows Server 2008. There is NO distinction between Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Obviously my installation of BUExec 12.5 [Build 15.5.2213] for Windows Servers failed.

Server is Windows 2003, target server is Windows 2003 with a SQL database. The backup Job just gets to the system state and then hangs, the job status is at running but the byte count remains the same and the only way to cancel the job is to restart the services.
Has anyone got any ideas on what the problem is?

Hi all,
I am still new to this. I was talking to one of my co-worker and he said that you can create a Bootable Windows CD, so that you can run the restore. I started looking in the software, all I see about creating a bootable CD is the Intelligent Disaster Recovery(IDR) wizard. I am running Server 2008, and most of the machines I am backing up is running Windows XP. So I am confused about the IDR, is it going to create a bootable image of the server 2008? Or what is it going to? Is it possible for one to create a bootable CD with the remote agent installed on the barebone XP? Last, is the boot CD machine specific, or it can be used as a universal boot CD.
If yes, then what should I do to reach that?
I am running Backup Exec 12.5.
Thank you so much for the help.

About Winsock:
The Winsock is a technical specification that defines how Windows network software should access network services, especially TCP/IP. It defines a standard interface between a Windows TCP/IP client application (such as an FTP client or a Gopher client) and the underlying TCP/IP protocol stack.
A Windows XP machine can sometimes have its WINSOCK catalog become corrupted and it appears like a network connection is disabled. In that case one of the symptoms is, if you use the ping command, it gives you arbitary characters in the output.
example: In command prompt, type
PING 127.0.0.1
you will see the reply
pinging °ÿ with 32 bytes of data
That °ÿ is the telltale sign that the WINSOCK catalog is corrupted.
You can use the netsh command utility to repair the winsock. Please enter the following command in the command prompt:
netsh winsock reset catalog
Reboot the machine. The issue will be resolved.
The command above, will reset winsock catalog...

LUST: Lusting after the latest version before figuring out what makes sense for your organization
Before organizations can successfully migrate to Windows 7, they need to know what is in front of them and then formulate the right game plan. While most businesses will benefit from upgrading, lust for the latest version can be like merging into the fast lane without checking your blind spot. If a company’s focus is solely making the switch as soon as possible, it might not take necessary precautions to minimize the time and adjustment for end users.
More importantly, a Windows migration project is not just driving a refresh of the operating system, it can also drive key decisions that will likely impact IT organizations for years to come. Organizations should take advantage of the planning time to re-evaluate hardware vendors, software vendors, security strategies and long term management strategies.
To get started you need to launch the migration project. This planning...
