BackupExec 10D and above on SBS 2003

Posted in OS, sbs2008 at 5:58 pm by webmaster

At all my Backup Exec 10D and above installs on SBS 2003 I am now creating two separate backup jobs to work around the issue of a compatibility problem when backuping up Exchange and System State at the same time.

  1. The first backup job with AOFO which backs up everything but exchange
  2. The second backup job without the AOFO on scheduled 30 minutes later, set to append to the tape that backs up Exchange

Note the following version is the most recent version of BackupExec available both released may 15, 2009:

 

BEWS_12.5.2213A_32BIT_VERSION.zip    12.5.2213A  557,764,568
BEWS_12.5.2213A_64BIT_VERSION.zip    12.5.2213A  597,707,883

Symatec article on the issue.

Consult the Administrators Guide and all the Best Practices Guides for all of the gory details.  I found the Advanced Open File Option Best Practice Guide especially helpfull.
