Hello,
My support contract expired in April of this year and since I missed the renewal period for a product that has been giving me constant headaches I have to pay Symantec $1,500 before they will even talk to me. So I'm hoping I can get some help on the forums while I wait for the budget to buy new backup software.
I have a SBS 2011 server with Backup Exec 2012 SBS. I have all the latest updates installed on the server all the way up to SP4.
I am trying to verify my disaster recovery plan so I created a virtual machine with a new SBS 2011 install and Backup Exec 2012 with again all the updates, all the way up to SP4.
On the virtual test machine backup Exec runs perfectly fine, and I am able to plug in our external backup drive (we backup to rotating external drives) and Backup Exec detects it perfectly fine. The issue is when I go to restore exchange and other items.
This backup drive had a full backup (not incremental) run on 10/29/14. I have a Job Log file that says the job ran at this time and it was successful. Great!
So I inventory and catalog the drive on the virtual server that I am using as my test bench. I go to restore exchange and the only backup it has is from 10/20/14 and it only has only one mailbox database and the public folder database, we have 3 other databases that are included in the backup but they are completely missing.
Does anyone know what the issue might be? My apologies if there is any information that I should include which I'm, but I'm not sure what is relevant here. The Databases are selected in the backup, the job log says everything was fine, and the job is set to full (although I have another incremental job that runs to a NAS drive, I assume that shouldn't affect anything, but that assumption could be wrong).
Thanks.
