At that point, she said that since I had introduced a batch job into the equation, it became an unsupported solution and that she could not assist further.Ĭan someone please tell me how to do a restore from these. The Symantec Backup Exec technician I spoke to had me delete the existing catalogs, and even start with a new version of the BE database, all to no avail. To make sure that no files were corrupted during the copy processes, I also ran a checksum calculator against the BKF files (which range between 11Gb and 46Gb in size) and the MD5 checksums match perfectly. cfg files back to a non-B2D folder and then define it as a B2D folder bkf back to a non-B2D folder and then define it as a B2D folderĬopy the. cfg files back to to a new existing B2D folderĬopy just the. bkf back to a new existing B2D folderĬopy the. cfg files back to the original B2D folderĬopy just the. bkf back to the original B2D folderĬopy the. Same thing with a catalog operation-all files and folders reflect the most recent backup of Server1.Ĭopy just the. bkf file written on January 17 over the existing Server1.bkf file and restart the BE services, an inventory will still report the media as that of January 21-not January 17. That is, any inventory and catalog operations reflect the most recent backup of that media, without regard to what is actually there.įor example, if today is Monday, January 21, and I manually stop the BE services and copy the. bkf file, and inisists that it is the most recent backup taken for that B2D folder. The problem I'm running into is this: When trying to restore from a backup that has been copied to one of the external drives, BE seems to ignore the content of the. The external drives are routinely rotated and contain no actual Backup-to-Disk folders (i.e., B2D folders defined to Backup Exec). Net start "Backup Exec Device & Media Service"
Net stop "Backup Exec Device & Media Service" After the copy command has completed, the BE services are restarted.įor example, if my external drive is defined as F: and I have a B2D folder off of E:\B2D\ named Server1 (which contains the files Server1 Backups.bkf, Changer.cfg, and Folder.cfg), the commands will look like this (after Monday's backups have run): The batch job then does an XCOPY of the entire B2D root folder, including all the subfolders (which are the actual BE Backup-to-Disk folders), to an external USB drive, accessed by drive letter. Each morning, after the backups have completed, I have a command file (batch job) that stops the following BE services: I have backup jobs that write to Backup-to-Disk folders on a SATA array on the server.
I'm running BackupExec 11d on a Win2k3 Server.
