BackupExec 2015

[AndySimmo]

Hi all,

 

Is anybody using BE2015? After an update, i've seen a change which i'm not sure is normal or not.

 

For some reason my Backup Sets appear considerably smaller.

 

Example: Backupset size = 7.66gb (which is wrong!) but when I go into the set it shows the correct size of 1.04TB

 

Anyone else experiencing this or experienced?

 

I don't have compression enabled.

 

Thanks

Andrew

Can't say I've seen this. At first I thought you might have switched De-Dup on but that would show on the original drive and that wouldn't make that much difference either.

 

Where exactly are you reading the sizes from? Do you have screen shots?

Hi GeekyPete

 

I haven't enabled de-dupe.

 

I'm using a NAS (Netgear Readydata5200) - May have been better with iSCSI!

 

Anyways, The file sizes are when I navigate into the storage - the part where it gives you details such as server,resource,time,method,storage,expiration and size.

 

When I double click into the backup set it shows the contents. At the top level it shows the size of 1.04TB. Again, going into the properties it shows the size as 7.66GB.

Another backup set which is 23.3gb shows as 6.6GB on the backup sets view. Although it does take up 23.3GB of physical space.

 

I haven't tried restoring the contents to see if it restores the 1tb,

 

It is doing this for all my backup sets in different storage locations.

 

I'm struggling to attach pictures at the moment for some reason!

 

It's very strange indeed! Thanks for your reply too!

 

This would happen as soon as my maintenance contract expires :-P
