Jeremy Roberts commented on: Deployment Solution 7.x: End to End in 8 hours, Part 1 (NS Only)

This is a worthy effort and should be applauded, however the fact that it exists suggests that 7.x so far has failed to work for a significant number of users, most likely those in catagory two who are still using 6.9 as 7.x does not fit ...

Jeremy Roberts commented on: 32bit Console for Deployment Solution 7

One of the big selling points of DS is that it save you time. However the upgrade to 7.1 is not going to save me time, I will need to spend about 6 months to get to the same level of knowledge that I have with 6.9. The only reason to use a web ...

Jeremy Roberts posted: Retry failed jobs

When you have a job that fails and you retry it you should be given the option to either retry the whole job or just he failed or incomplete part. Forcing you to back up a whole server that has fialed rather than just the single drive is really annoying given the size and time required f

Jeremy Roberts posted: Jobs listed in tape info pop up

When you hover over a tape it shows a load of Stats which is probably useful to some one.What would be useful to me is to list the jobs that have used or are using that tape. (Backup and Archiving, 2010, Backup Exec, Backing Up) () Symantec, 2010, Backup Exec, Backing Up When you

Jeremy Roberts commented on: Struggling to meet Backup time window

Tuning Backups very much depends on your environment, you infrastructure, what you pain points are and your DR startergy. However there are some quick gains, moving to differentials or incrementals is a good one for daily backups, SQL backups to ...

Jeremy Roberts commented on: Altiris install of VAC 8 SP4

Has anyone got any information on command line options for the Setup that actually work? The problem is with the installer, it seems Symantec have hobbled the install or just not enabled command line switches, so it doesn't accept normal ...

Jeremy Roberts posted: Restore selection based on files rather servers

At the moment restore selection can either be done by media or by resource. Which menas show me what is on the tape, or here's a server and it was backed up on these dates, this is great if you are restoring a whole server or do full backups every night but if you want just a single file and

Jeremy Roberts commented on: Duplicate fails when DB is on SQL Express/MSDE

After hammering away at it for a couple of days I think I have solved the problem, it would seem that if you use SQL express it will install a copy on all the Backup servers. When the job is run it writes to the local DB but when the CASO ...

Jeremy Roberts commented on: DS 6.9 & Windows 7 Remote Control

Remote control is a paid for option in 7.1 DS, so if I am going to have pay extra for something I already have I might as well look at what else is available and bite the bullit and move away from Symantec. You can't even run the console on ...

Jeremy Roberts posted: Define a slot type

Allow slots to have a defined type that can then be seleted when creating a backup or duplicate job. At the moment you can carve up individual libraries as you like but you can't combine resources across multiple libraries. I would like to be able to define a group of slots in two or

Jeremy Roberts posted: Make BE a bit more intelligent

When doing a tape to tape duplicate BE just grabs any available tape loads it up and then sits there waiting for other resources to become available blocking the use of drives for other jobs. It would make more sense for BE to check if resources are available and if not queue the tapes i

Jeremy Roberts commented on: Time for backup system state on windows Server 2008 - Performance OK?

System state backup on 2008 and R2 sucks. We went from 1-10 minutes on 2003 to 60 minutes on 2008/R2. There is more data each night 7-GB for 2008 compared with 1GB for 2003 and it backsup much slower around 70-120MB/s compared to 300-1200MB/s ...

Jeremy Roberts posted: Export/Import Policies and selection lists in Backup Exec

Why is there no way to export and import Polices ans selection lists? If you need to recreate you backup servers because they have gon wrong and you dont want to use the existing database as it restarts the SQL service (Who's dumb idea was that?) your only option is to start again f

Jeremy Roberts posted: Import/Export jobs etc

We want to rebuild our backup servers but there seems to be no way to export our backup selections or the jobs and re import them in to the new servers. (Backup and Archiving, 10.x and Earlier, 11.x, 12.x, 2010, Backup Exec) () Symantec, 10.x and Earlier, 11.x, 12.x, 2010, Backup Exe

Jeremy Roberts commented on: Backup Exec 2010 R2 – Highlights

Bet it still restarts the SQL services (have never understood why it needs to do this) during the upgrade which is real pain when you have a SQL server with several other DBs installed. You have been warned!
