SSR 2013 Won't Backup

I need a solution

Two nights ago, my daily incremental failed. I shut the PC down and tried to run the missed backup the next morning. It failed again. A totally new one-time backup also failed. Ran the fixinstall.bat and used Live Update to get the latest version of System Recovery 2013.

This is the information that was displayed with the failures:

-Error E0020002: Device \\.\PhysicalDrive0 cannot be opened.

--Error EBAB03F1: Following Operating System error occurred while performing requested operation: 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.'

(UMI:V-281-2-2)

The Windows Log Viewer showed similar information:

Error EC8F1780: Cannot successfully reconcile changes since last session.

Error EC8F1771: Cannot enumerate the current drives on this system.

Error E0020002: Device \\.\PhysicalDrive0 cannot be opened.

Error EBAB03F1: Following Operating System error occurred while performing requested operation: 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.' (UMI:V-281-3215-6016)

I also got the error message about not being able to reconcile changes since the previous session when opening the System Recovery application.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, fully patched.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 - Restore Issue of VHDX

$

I need a solution

Hi Guys,

I read many blogs, however I haven’t come across an article that could solve my issue.

 Initial Overview of what’s happening:

Server A with 2012 OS does/dumps an incremental Windows Backup (built-in feature) on Disk Storage connected to Server B with 2012 OS.

Symantec Backup Exec 12.5  Server is Windows 2003 Server with 32-bit app instance. Backup Server further backs up the dumped files (on Server B) onto Tape Media.

The files are dumped as standard Windows Image file (VHDX) on Server B.

Now my issue is I’m unable to restore the files either to a locally connected storage or on Same Server B (different Drive).

Initial series of failures made me realize that I can’t restore only one drive’s backup from whole set of WindowsImageBackup. So I had to restore the whole thing to get the VHDX in question.

The Sizes of VHDX files in WindowsImageBackup dump are lesser than 1.6TB. Anti-Virus on Both Server B and Backup Server is disabled. Admin privledges to Service Account used for Backup & Restore has been granted on Restore location, Folder & Drive.

Please HELP!!

Reinstall Backup Exec 2010 R3

I need a solution

I am working with a server that is running short on space on the C:\ drive.

 

I would like to uninstall B. Exec 2010 from C:\  and reinstall on D:\ drive on the same server.

I think I only have 2 questions.

 

1) What files do I need to save from original install and how do i import them to the new install so the jobs and catalogs are recognized by new installation?

2) Is SQL Express automatically uninstalled as part of the B. Exex uninstall? And can I install SQL Express on D:\  ?

 

Anything else I need to consider?

 

Thank you in advance!

SDR Recovering Server into Live Environment

I need a solution

Hi there,

 

Hope you can help.

I am trying to recover one of my 2003 servers using SDR.  I am wondering, at what point in the restore process will the reocvered server be live on the network?  I ask this because the server I have backed up is live and working on the network, this is purely a test to see what would happen if I restored the server to "other" hardware.

My media server is on the network and the backup was done to tape so need to connect via live network (unless I rerun the backup to disk and then copy the data to external usb media).

Any help greatfully recieved

Effects of nbdevconfig on a global master server

$

I need a solution

Our backup infrastructure contains a global master, with regional media servers. I'm looking to begin using synthetic backups, and am being told I will need to run the following nbdevconfig commands on the master server.

nbdevconfig –changests –storage_server <name> -stype DataDomain –setattribute OptimizedImage (for each DataDomain) (We are the only office using DataDomain)

nbdevconfig -changedp -dp <diskpool name> -stype DataDomain -setattribute OptimizedImage (for each DiskPool) (Disk pools are separated be regions/offices)

I'm curious what effect running these commands will have (if any) on the other regional backup environments ?

RALUS in CentOS Backup Selection Error

I need a solution

Hi,

I know that CentOS is not supported by Back Exec 2012 but I saw in some threads it is working just  fine.

Here is my problem, We are running our Backup Exec 2012 Server on Windows 2003 Server.

I installed RALUS in our CentOS(4.8)node. When I try to add the node in Backup Exec server it is taking quite long time. And when I try to create a backup I'm getting "Communication failure occurred when attempting to connect to this server" Error.

I started RALUS in debug mode and found that communication to the port 6101 is failing. And I've found that firewall is running on our CentOS server. I stopped the 'iptables' service and tried to open Backup selection form Backup server it is opening fine (But not tried Backup). Then again I enabled firewall and allowed the port 6101 using 'iptables', even after that I'm still facing the "communication failure" error.

Is there any other port or setting to be enabled to work correctly?

Commands used to open the port 6101,

# iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 6101 -j ACCEPT

# iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 6101 -j ACCEP

RALUS Debug log is all attached.

Hi folks

when we take backup of SQL databases on any windows server.In logs it shows us various details along with database names which it has backedup 
all application databases and systel databases as well model, master and msdb.
 
When i go to client server and open NBU Ms SQL agent to perform restore of a database I only get to see backup date and images of application database.
It do not show any system database (model, master and msdb). Hence i can not perform restore them to any other server or same server.
 
1) How can i restore system database to any other server or same server.
 
 
2)How can i take backup of mentioned files without putting database in down state.
master.mdf        
mastlog.ldf         
model.mdf

Backup Exec 2012 & Central Administration Server

$

I need a solution

I have implemented a CASO server and converted my stand-alone remote backup exec servers to managed servers.  We really only want to use the CASO server as a reporting tool (i.e login and launch backup exec and either click on the Backup Exec Calendar or click "Backup and Restore" and get a high-level view of the backup history).   What I seem to be having a problem with is the information under "last backup" isn't staying up-to-date.  I have about 12-14 remote servers and the settings in the CASO server are exactly the same for each server but for example yesterday on 12-3-13 it only showed two server backed up on 12-2-13.   Today, all the information in the CASO server is current.  So there is a lag somewhere.  Does anyone have an ideas?

Thanks,

Charles

BE 2012 and Enterprise Vault Agent

I need a solution

We had some issues with our BE2010->2012 upgrade and I ended up reinstalling everything from scratch and that cleared up all of the issues ... except for one.

Using the EV agent, backing up the indexes with the agent it SAYS it finishes but when you drill into the log I get this:

The Backup Exec server was unable to connect to remote machine <dnsaliasnameofevserver> using protocol IPv4 on network interface Local Area Connection <x>. 

 I can browse and see it when setting up the backup but the index backup is referencing a DNS alias and not the actual machine...so I'm not sure if this is an EV or BE issue.  The partitions are on a NAS so those get backed up fine via NDMP but the indexes are not being picked up.  The database portion works fine.  Could the BE agent be blowing up because the BE server is trying to attach to the EV server with an alias name - and if that is the case how do I fix that?

I need a solution

I'm currently running Backup Exec 2012 version 14.0 rev 1798 with SP3 installed on Windows 2008. I have job logging set to "Summary Information, directories, files and file details". However when I view the job log, it is sorted alphabetically by file name. How do I get it to sort based on time each file was backed up? Our server is hanging and crashing intermittantly and it would be helpful to know if it is crashing while backing up a particular file. Thanks for the help.

Identifying Failed Backup In a policy (Backup Exec 12.5)

I need a solution

Hi Guru's,

 

Im new to Backup Exec currently facing a confusion as i am only familiar with NBU.

The Question:

We are running on a 12.5 Backup Exec currently,

There are multiple clients configured for backup in 1 policyThere's this 1 client is keep failing due to below error:

Set type               : Backup
Set status             : Completed
Set description        :

Resource name          : \\xx.xx.xx.xxx.COM\CDMShare
Logon account          : System Logon Account
Encryption used        : None

Error                  : e00084af - The directory or file was not found, or could not be accessed.

Agent used                     : Yes
Advanced Open File Option used : Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)

Byte count             : 0 bytes
Rate                   : 0.00 MB/Min

Files                  : 0
Directories            : 0
Skipped files          : 0
Corrupt files          : 0
Files in use           : 0

Start time             : Tuesday, November 26, 2013 12:54:28 AM
End time               : Tuesday, November 26, 2013 12:54:31 AM

Does this means that all other client configured in this policy failed too?

I'm having this confusion is because when i checked the other client backup status in the same job, its stated completed with data written record:

Set type               : Backup
Set status             : Completed
Set description        : Full backup

Resource name          : \\\\xx.xx.xx.xxx.COM\CDMShare
Logon account          : System Logon Account
Encryption used        : None

Agent used                     : Yes
Advanced Open File Option used : Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)

 

Byte count             : 49,603,138,059 bytes
Rate                   : 1,742.00 MB/Min

Files                  : 129,608
Directories            : 408
Skipped files          : 0
Corrupt files          : 0
Files in use           : 0

Start time             : Monday, November 25, 2013 11:13:23 AM
End time               : Monday, November 25, 2013 11:40:32 AM

Media used             : C00073L3

So if 1 client is failed out of 74 clients, does that effect the entire policy for the job as Failed?

 

Also theres this major issue we are facing on a 2 cluster node server whereby 01 failes but is backed up in 02

But still shows the entire policy failed.

 

Thank You So Much Guru's

 

Best Regards

Hello

I have install OpsCenter 7.5.0.5 (Build 20130209) some time ago and I thought that everything works well, but
today when I was creating a custom report and I wanted to select a specific client from the list of clients
(Create a custom report -> Select Parameters Tab, Filters -> Client -> Client Name -> Value)
i didn't found this client. Client is available in NetBackup.

Next I ran SQL Query
SELECT * FROM domain_client WHERE name="client_name"
the client was displayed with deleted status 0.

Do you know how to update/fix a client list in Opscenter?
Thanks

Sharepoint Dedup rate

$
0
0
I need a solution

Hi,

I'm starting to use deduplication in Netbackup and I was wondering if somebody could tell me what the average dedup rate for sharepoint backups is?

I'm doing a backup of a Sharepoint 2007 environment and I get a dedup rate of 8%. Is this normal?
The environment consists of a sharepoint server and a seperated SQL server.

Regards,
Erwin
