Hi, I'm trying to get backup exec 11 to send a notification email when the backup job completes. I've setup the SMTP details and a recipient, when I run a test the email is sent and arrives ok. However when I run the job the email doesn't seem to be sent.There's no trace of it even hitting...

Hi, I'm trying to update my backup exec 9.1 4691 server to service pack 5. I've installed the SP5 update and everything seemed to go well but when I look at the about backup exec menu it doesn't show up as SP5. How do I know it's installed? The veritas update menu doesn't seem to work...

Ah, thanks Steve. Slight problem though, when the backup runs it fails with the following error: Backup - PORTFOLIOUnable to attach to PORTFOLIO/portfolio. Unable to attach to PORTFOLIO/portfolio. Backup - PORTFOLIO/volumes_portfolio Access denied to directory /. Directory...

Thanks, Since I posted I've discovered that we have do actually have a mac agaent but it came with backup exec 11 which we have installed in another office. I'll give it a shot to see if version 9 server recognises the version 11 agent. Has anyone tried this? Probably not... Thanks anyway.

Hi, I've just setup our Backup Exec PC 9 running on Win Server 2003 to backup a shared Apple mac folder. I haven't installed the remote agent on the mac.I added the Macs IP to Backup exec as a user defined selection. Thta backup seems to run with no problems and I can restore from tape. I do...

Fair enough, it would be nice to have the option though. I'd like to be able to see at a glance which of my shares has caused the backup tape to fill up.

Thats really crap

Hi, Is there any way I can force the backup exec reports to use gigabytes rather than bytes? It's a pain trying to keep a track of directory sizes on the backup when they are always reported in bytes. Thaqnks very much.

Hello, Recently one of our backup clients crashed and died as a consequence we didn't have time to remove the backup exec agent. I've since restored the data and setup a new machine with the same name and ip address, however the backup job still tries to connect to the G drive from the old...

I've checked the server, all the backup volumes are the same size they were the last time this job executed successfully? This job has failed three nights in a row, now. When I arrive in the morning the tape is ejected, the alerts are asking for a new one as this one is now overwrite protected...

Hello, I'm running backup exec 9.1 for windows, recently one of my backups has started to report the wrong byte count, resulting in the tape being ejected early as another is requested in the middle of the night. This happened to me before but last time the problem just disappeared after a few...
