discussion comment 13 Feb 2012
SystemsAdminAS commented on: Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 for Windows Server and Debian Linux with Linux Kernel 3.0 AMD64Bit Client problems
Ken, I didn't look at the post date, I just happened upon it during a search.  Also, there is a difference in saying that the Kernel is not supported via the SCL and just leaving it there, or actually helping the poster try and work ...

SystemsAdminAS commented on: Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 for Windows Server and Debian Linux with Linux Kernel 3.0 AMD64Bit Client problems
aag, Linux KErnel 3.x is not yet supported (in any version of BE afaik).  Whatever flavor of Linux you're getting BE to run in, you'll need to boot using a 2.6.x kernel to get the services to work.  I would imagine they will ...

SystemsAdminAS commented on: Linux Agent on Ubuntu 11.10 fails to start properly
djcomo, I ran into this issue some time ago.  The BE RALUS 12.5 / 13.0 agents WILL work on Ubuntu, but NOT with a 3.x kernel that exists currently.  You'll have to boot using a 2.6.x kernel (which may necessitate installing it if ...

SystemsAdminAS commented on: BE 2010 R3 RALUS agent not working
Both available updates applied, VRTSRalus restarted, confirmed that it was running, and same problem persists.

SystemsAdminAS commented on: BE 2010 R3 RALUS agent not working
pkh, I do see two RALUS patch files in that directory (forme, C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Agents).  Will get those applied and see if they help. At present the issue seems to be file transfer speed from the linux box to my ...

SystemsAdminAS commented on: Backup Exec 2010 R3 RALUS agent not working
VJ, I can connect OK, but it seems my backup job hangs and doesn't abide by the 12 hour time limit I have set for the operation to expire.  I also can't cancel the job unless I kill BE exe's running on the media server and ...
discussion comment 14 Nov 2011
SystemsAdminAS commented on: BE 2010 R3 RALUS agent not working
pkh, The problem was actually due to using the 3.x Linux kernel that was updated recently, rebooting using a 2.6.x kernel allowed the service to start correctly, to which I could then access the selection list, etc from my BE server.  IPv6 ...

SystemsAdminAS commented on: Backup Exec 2010 R3 RALUS agent not working
VJ, DEAR LORD thank you! :D  Hadn't even considered that it was a kernel upgrade that was the issue.  Soon as I rebooted using a 2.6.x kernel I could see port 10000 listening (using netstat -ln -A inet).  I was also able ...

SystemsAdminAS posted: BE 2010 R3 RALUS agent not working
I need a solution   Testing out BE 2010R3, specifically with the RALUS agent in Debian.  BE itself is fine as far as importing my 12.5 data/jobs/etc, and has no trouble with the windows agents from the main BE server on Win 2

discussion comment 19 Apr 2010
SystemsAdminAS commented on: Father-Son Rotation Guidance
I believe the default behavior for B2D is to keep backups (incremental, full, whatever) into files no larger than 4 GB, so if your backed up data is larger than that, BE will distribute your backup across multiple files.  If you had 11 GB of ...
discussion comment 19 Apr 2010
SystemsAdminAS commented on: an error was encountered while attempting browse the contents of (path)
Some thoughts on this: (1) Check to make sure your SQL Server credentials are correct (2) Make sure the agent is installed on the target server (3) Update your BE server using liveupdate (4) Update your agent(s) using the bulk update tool ...

SystemsAdminAS commented on: Getting 'Access Denied' error when installing 2010 remote agent on 2003 DC
Jason, I would uninstall it and reinstall the 2010 agent clean - as of now you can't really be sure if the installation was complete or not.  Your selection lists, etc should still be OK on your BE server (I'm assuming you have BE ...

SystemsAdminAS commented on: Patching MSSQL 2005 on Backup Exec Server?
Denda, I had issues earlier with our BE DB instance - In our case, I had installed BE when MS SQL2005 was still at SP2 (currently SP3).  Via Windows update, SP3 kept failing to install - the reason being that I did not use BE's normal ...
discussion comment 15 Apr 2010
SystemsAdminAS commented on: Can You Upgrade from BE 12.5 SP1 Directly to 12.5SP3?
Pakled, If you use LiveUpdate, you will get the SP's and hotfixes in order, though if you manually download them, you only need SP3 and then any hotfixes that are not included in that SP.  Be aware also that if you install SP's ...
discussion comment 08 Apr 2010
SystemsAdminAS commented on: Backup Exec 12.5 won't start
Dominic, Have you updated your BE 12.5 server with service packs / hotfixes?  Also, have you installed BE's database on an existing SQL server installation or let the installer create its own SQLEE instance? You may want to check ...
discussion comment 08 Apr 2010
SystemsAdminAS commented on: Creating a selection list on Unix machine shows nothing under [ROOT] entry
Mike, I have your setup, though my client is Ubuntu 9.10 rather than RHEL - Is your BE server on a Windows server box or some other OS? Seems that your setup was working for awhile and then began failing - if you can see the [ROOT] section ...
discussion comment 05 Apr 2010
SystemsAdminAS commented on: Unable to see Files and Directories Backupexec V12.5
Trucker, Have you set up selections lists at all (or are trying to do that now?)  Are you trying to connect to the remote server running BE 10 from your new media server running 12.5 in order to back up that media server to your new one? ...
discussion comment 05 Apr 2010
SystemsAdminAS commented on: Backup Job does not run on schedule.
Ionian, Some more thoughts.... (1) check server date/time - is it accurate? (2) Is it possible your server was down / restarted during the time slot it was scheduled to run? (Check Windows event logs) (3) Have you updated BE and ...

SystemsAdminAS commented on: Backup Exec 12.5 Reporting help
Lokiju, I'm using 12.5 as well, and I created a report that simply shows the backup log for the last 7 days of time from whenever the report is run.  Click on the 'Report' tab and you should see a bunch of standard reports in ...
