Philip D commented on: Backup Exec 2010 R2 Deduplication Licensing

Very interesting. I hope you are correct. Can anyone else back this up?

I need a solution Regarding licensing for the deduplication option on Backup Exec 2010 R2: if you do client side dedupe, do you need a dedupe license for every client? 1

Philip D commented on: VMDK GRT error - "the path for staging temporary data..."

Thank you for the response, but virtfile.sys is already installed, and I do not have/use the Agent for Microsoft Exchange.

Philip D commented on: VMDK GRT error - "the path for staging temporary data..."

Yes. I also tried setting it to D: which has much more free space, and still no luck.

Philip D commented on: VMDK GRT error - "the path for staging temporary data..."

Yes, that was the first thing I tried since that suggestion is listed with the error message. However, it did not work.

This wasn't an upgrade, and I have already tried this without any luck, but thanks for the response.

I need a solution Using Backup Exec 2010 (server 2008 64 bit), I keep getting this error when trying to do a VMDK backup using GRT. I have the temporary location set to C:\TEMP, which exists and should be writable.

Philip D commented on: Question about incremental backups

Are you sure that hasn't changed in BE 2010? This may just apply to the VMWare agent, but I keep seeing that it automatically combines incrementals to make a synthetic full backup.

Philip D posted: Question about incremental backups

I need a solution I usually do 1 full backup on Friday and then differentials Saturday through Thursday, but lately I've been wondering if it wouldn't be better for me to do incrementals Monday through Thursday. I was

Philip D commented on: When do clients pull definitions from the SEP management server?

Heartbeat is 12 hours, which I'm thinking shouldn't cause any bandwidth issues.

Philip D commented on: When do clients pull definitions from the SEP management server?

Actually, most of the client machines should've been left on all weekend (I was rolling out some Windows updates). Regardless, space isn't too much of an issue on the SEPM server, so I set the content revisions to 5 (it was on ...

Philip D commented on: When do clients pull definitions from the SEP management server?

These are my settings for that section. Any idea why this would cause my SEPM server to be hammering one of my sites with traffic at 8:30 AM? Thanks!

discussion comment 05 Apr 2010

Philip D commented on: When do clients pull definitions from the SEP management server?

That is for environments where clients obtain updates through LiveUpdate servers, though. Those settings are grayed out for me because my clients get updates through the SEP management server, which is selected in the Server Settings tab ...

Philip D posted: When do clients pull definitions from the SEP management server?

I need a solution (Or when does the SEP management server push definitions to the clients, if that's the more correct question). Defs are given to my clients via the SEP management server rather than live update servers

Philip D commented on: Backup job size impossibly large

For anyone who may find this information useful in the future, I found what I believe to be the solution. During my rolling upgrade from BE 10d to 12.5, my selection lists were lost, though backups continued working. The result of ...

Philip D posted: Backup job size impossibly large

I need a solution Using Backup Exec 12.5 on Windows Server 2008. I have a backup job that, upon completion, is showing a byte count of slightly over 2 TB. I fail to see how this is possible, as this job is backing up only th

Philip D commented on: iSCSI disk devices

I do differentials to an iSCSI device (using an iSCSI initiator), so yes, it can be done.

discussion comment 18 Sep 2009

Philip D commented on: Managing 16 TB of data for backup

First, I assume you're got your BE 12.5 server set to run as many concurrent backups as you have available devices, correct? Secondly, I backup somewhere between ~4 and ~6 TB every Friday night, and it takes about 29 hours to ...

discussion comment 17 Aug 2009

Philip D commented on: Using a job template to start jobs which use different selection lists

If you only have those two backups running, you could set a maximum of 1 concurrent backup, give the first job high priority and the second job low priority and have them both start at the same time. That would work like you'd want it ...

discussion comment 17 Aug 2009

Philip D commented on: Expert assistance only please: need serious assistance in understanding BE12.5

So what you're saying is that your media reaches the end of its overwrite protection period and subsequent jobs are still not able to overwite? "Also, if there is any way to get the backup to tape to only perform a backup on the data that ...
