Symantec Backup Exec 2012

[NetworkNinja]

Hi all,

 

Just wondered if anyone has come across this issue before?

 

We currently use Exec 2012 to backup our servers and we seem to be having an issue when incremental/differential backups are taken. (Physical Server backups are working perfect) We have a virtual machine and when the full backup is taken its backs up everything like it should however when it does an incremental/differential backup (Tried both) it seems to have the same file size as the full backup.

 

I have checked the physical machine which holds the virtual machines and it has the agent for windows installed. Myself and my college can't seem to figure out how to solve it...

 

Any help apprenticed.

Sorry I can't offer any advice on how to actually fix BE. We ran it here to do both physical and virtual and while the physical side worked (most of the time) the virtual side was always a mess. If it wasn't one thing it was another. Finally had enough of it and binned it for Veeam. They do have a free (unlimited time) version you can try if you wanted: https://www.veeam.com/virtual-machine-backup-solution-free.html

I couldn’t wait to ditch Backup Exec 6 years ago, it was a pain in the .... went VEEAM and never looked back, brilliant product.

Thanks for your reply. Do you currently use the free version or do you pay for the license? I have just installed the free version and can't see to find a way to attached our NAS as the storage option instead of the local drives.
