Backupexec USB Tape drives and Compression
We typically install HP Tape Drives & Symantec Backupexec. In 2010 we installed a HP USB DAT 160 with Symantec Backupexec 12.5. The backup would not compress. Symantec told us that Backupexec is capable of compression & HP told us that the tape drive is capable of compression. But we could not get any compression when used together. An engineer in our firm did some digging around & came back saying that Symantec Backupexec will not support compression on USB Tape devices. We finally gave up & purchased a HP SAS DAT 160 & compression worked. I am not looking for do this do that suggestions, trust me we have done it all. I am not concerned about how much compression & the factors that affect compression. As far as I am concerned 1MB over native capacity is compression My question is does anybody (would love to hear from Symantec) know for a fact if it is still true for the latest version of Symantec Backupexec i.e. It will not support compression on USB Tape devices?How to backup one file that changes filenames daily?
Hey there, I'm wondering if it is possible to create a selection list that backs up a single file in a directory, that changes its filename every day. Example, I want to backup a text file located at: \example\test1.txt - but tomorrow the file is going to be named test2.txt and in that folder, test1.txt and test2.txt will exist. Hopefully this makes sense, and hopefully it is possible to do this. Thanks in advance for any help and/or suggestions!

Restoring files to QNAP
Hi, I'm getting strange errors when trying to do a restore from tape to a QNAP. We're backing up our Vm's to the QNAP using VEEAM and then taking a weekly backup of the QNAP using BAckup exec 2010. All of the above works fine. However I've just come to do our first test restore from tape and on trying to restore to a separate folder on the QNAp (with exactly the same permissions as the fodler that is being backed up) I am geting an error saying that the directory or file was not found. Both the folder that the backup is from and the folder i'm trying to write to are added as custom selections in the format \\QNAP\restoretest The job does get as far as creating the folder into which the restore should placed so I don't think it's a permissions thing. I'm a bit stumped as to what to try next though... Does anyone have a similar setup / advice? Thanks
E0008821 - Job was recovered as a result of Backup Exec RPC service starting
Hello, I have Symantec BackUp exec 2010 in a windows sbs 2008 standard, with a strategy Grandfather . I'm new here (the guy who was in charged before left, and also de server is in German and I don't speak German). The last monthly copy didn't work because of E0008821 - Job was recovered as a result of Backup Exec RPC service starting (with initial hour 31/March/2012 23:00:04 and finalize at 31/March/2012 23:00:02), and also the last 6 weekly copies didn't work for the same reason. I don't know what to do, what do you think about this? You have Domino/Notes? If yes do the registry changes HKLM\Software\Symantec\Backup Exec for Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\DOMINO\ Enable Change Journal = 0 Enable Notes Database Filtering = 0Redirecting restore jobs for Lotus Domino databases
Dear Symantec, Our company has made the decision on transition on SBE2010 of a competing product. However there was one problem – in the course of work there is a necessity often enough to use restore Lotus bases point in time in different location. But SBE doesn't possess similar possibility. Absence given functional disturbs to full introduction SBE in the organization. Introduction of similar functional (present at competitors) will allow introduce completely SBE in the organization not only for us, but also Symantec will be allowed to get competitive advantage in the market.
