Hey all, here is the situation..Our SAN died and we had to restore backup copies of our VMs taken by VEEAM. Unfortuneately, these copies are three weeks old. However, we do have tape backups. We are spinning up the old VMs but I am wondering if it is possible to setup the backupexec restore job to only restore files that are missing or have changed in the last three weeks? Thanks!

Hi Experts,
I am new to NB and trying to configure mail services on my NB7.0 server.
I started by using the following Netbackup doc.:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH32539
and set my id in both the Global & Universal setitings as prescribed in the doc.
Later I tried a test backup with a wrong table name, so that it should fail and I should get a mail.
Result: No luck.
2. On further analysis came across the 'backup notify' feature and also entered my mail id and tried.
No luck this time too.
3. Tried with a sample mail:
Mail -s "hello" <my mail id>
This time got the error:
Postfix/public/pickup doesn't exists
I created the dir using FIFO command and also started the postfix service
4. When I ran the command again, got the message, you have a new mail in /var/mail/root
but I couldn't found my mail over there.
5. Tried again with the test backup but no luck.
Plz. suggest if I am missing something.
Thanks.

Manish

Hi ALL,
I need to create a mater server for my backups in a cluster.
Server is Linux server.
I have followed.
NetBackup Highly Available Environments Administrator's Guide
Can anybody provide me with some steps.
I have a backup job that's failing with this error.
Final error: 0xe000035b - The consistency check of the snapshot for the Microsoft Active Directory, ADAM or AD LDS transaction log has failed. You should check for possible data corruption in the transaction log that is online.
Final error category: Resource Errors
For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-859
I checked this page http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH87307&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1356620338195 and it said to run a database check against AD, Adam or LDS. Adam and LDS do not apply to my situation since I'm not using them. I ran a database check against NTDS and it did not find any issues so I do not know why this error keeps popping up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Current setup : -
Windows 2008 R2 SP1
BE 2012 SP1a ( CASO)
CPU : Quad Core
Ram :50 GB
Deduplication folder size : 30 TB
Windows 2008 R2 SP1
BE 2012 SP1a - Media server
CPU: Quad Core
Ram :50 GB
Deduplication folder size : 30 TB
When there are 6 concurrent backup running on the CASO on the Vmware virtual machines backup the memory usage will reached 100% and backup jobs will failed or backup server hanged. While backup of from the BE media server with 6 concurrent job on physical server via BE agent dont have this issue.
We have also disable the antivirus from scanning the BE processess , MS SQL databases and deduplication folder mount point based on symantec best practise.
Below are the technote that is related to my issue without any resolution yet other that restart BE server services after a few backup .
Beserver.exe is using up all available RAM(Memory) until the service is restarted in Backup Exec 2012
This issue is resolved in Backup Exec 2012 Service Pack 1a. (TECH186717)

I have 51 servers in one environment that needs the System State backed up. Our current backup process does a disk to disk copy to a central location and then backs up to tape. We start this backup two hours before other backups kick off to try to get it to finish. However, the disk to disk portion takes on average 13 hours to run and the disk to tape portion never finishes Monday through Thursday because we need to put that night's tapes in. This is about 315 GB of data.
My question would be how can I get the system state to backup successfully every night.We have the previous days System States backed up to disk, but our boss would like it on tape just in case we have corruption of data, we can restore from tape.
Please let me know any ideas that can imporve our system state backups.
Thanks.

Currently i have my drive C running out of free space soon which is the netbackup default installation location .
I have found some article to relocation using ALTPATH for individual folders or edit the windows register to relocate the entire netbackup\db to another drive letter.
Currently im using Netbackup version 7.0.1 , may i know are both above steps a supported configuration by symantec support?
I just want to confirm that if I have a full backup done on 12/1 and I hold it out so it doesn't get overwritten, then once it expires on 2/1 that I can still restore from it like a month later. I beleive I have to re-scan it, right? or re-catalog it? Or is it even possible?

I'll upgrade BackupExec from v12.5 to v2012.
Can I export and import( migrate ) the job lists from v12.5 to v2012 ?
Thanks,

I created a job with the following schedule:
- daily full backup @ 1pm every week day
- weekly full backup @ 1pm every Friday
- monthly full backup @ 1 pm every last workday of the month
Whenever the last working day is a Friday the schedule operates as expected: the monthly backup runs. The weekly & daily backups are superseded.
However when the last working day is not a Friday the scheduler tries to run both the daily and the monthly backup. I expect it to run the monthly backup and supersede the daily backup.
Am I missing something here?
Hello,
i'm facing a strange issue, i followed the Symantec procedure but unfortunately i have a problem with my catalogs.
I am out of space on my C disk, so i start the BEUTILITY to change the catalogs path to a new disk. Everything gones fine, then i restart my BE services. I change the configuration of BE2012 to specify the new location, and i restart the server.
Now i have to issues:
1) When i want to restore, BE is unable to see backup sets previous 7 days, instead of before i was able to restore for months
2) Today, after night backups run, i can see that my catalog folder on C is not empty, as if the new backups write their catalogs in the old folder.
Please help, because the only "bad" trick i have in mind is to create shorlink in my old folder catalog
