rablack commented on: Backup Exec Snapshot backup of DFS
Roman, This is very interesting. I am in a similar position, where I have a SAN volume with hardware snapshot capabilties and a number of DFS replicated folders to backup. As you have suggested, I have already got volume shadow copies enabled ...

rablack commented on: BE 2012 ADBO + DFS replication - options?
Thanks Colin, I'm not entirely sure about your suggestion, as off host incremental backups was my main intentions behind this - quick, LAN free backup to disk during the day to allow for multiple backup sets per day. I'm going to ...

rablack commented on: BE 2012 ADBO + DFS replication - options?
Well, that is interesting. Set up and running difficulties aside, the document linked to by Colin is the ONLY place I have found any reference to ADBO off-host not working with DFSR! We would most likely not have bothered purchasing the add on ...

Hi, We have BE 2012 with ADBO on a Win2008R2 server, backing a Win2008R2 file server with 600GB data stored on a SAN volume. The SAN is a Dell MD3200i, with hardware snapshots enabled. Approximately half the data is held in DFS replicated folders. When I run a backup, using Shadow Copy Com

rablack commented on: Backup Exec 2010 R3 Renewal Assistant
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I also have this problem and also use a proxy server. Is there any documentation which specifies what ports or addresses are required for this tool? Richard

rablack commented on: Best method for backing up VMware RDM disk?
Ok, so if I am understanding this correctly, to fully protect the VM I am using as a file server, my best option would be to make it visible to the BE server via a separate network and run two separate backup jobs. One AVVI job without GRT to ...

rablack commented on: Best method for backing up VMware RDM disk?
Great, thanks for the very quick answers. Can I use AVVI to backup the VM excluding the RDM disc? That way I could restore from image and reattach the RDM. There seems to be conflicting information about this. Also, using this method, how do I ...

Hi, I am looking for information on what I can expect to be able to acheive in a new enviromment which I am in the process of setting up and also what I may be able to do if we purchase additional BE options. Currently I have a physcial Windows 2008R2 server with and LTO-5 tape drive and a

rablack commented on: AVVI backup direct to tape with GRT - local disk space requirements?
Hi Colin, Thanks for your very quick and comprehensive reply. And sorry for the delay in me replying! It sounds like no matter what, we will need at least as much disk space (somewhere) for the largest vmdk file in the event of a restore. Your ...

rablack posted: AVVI backup direct to tape with GRT - local disk space requirements?
Hi, We are intending to implement a pair of ESXi servers connected to an iSCSI SAN with a third (much less powerful) server as the BE media server. An LTO-5 tape drive connected via a SAS HBA will be the backup location. One VM will have around 700GB data on it's virtual hard disk. Mo

rablack commented on: Backup Exec 2010 backing up to NDMP tape target
Hi, Thanks for the speedy reply. This answers my question quite neatly. I had hoped to use this to effectively create something like a networked tape drive so that I could virtualise my backup server, but it seems this will not work in either of ...

rablack posted: Backup Exec 2010 backing up to NDMP tape target
Hi, I have a Windows Server 2008 machine and an iSCSI SAN powered by the free NexentaStor OS. This provides NDMP functionality, including presenting an LTO-3 tape drive attached to the SAN as an NDMP target to Backup Exec. One backup scenario would be to backup files on the Windows server
