Wonder if anyone as seen this before. Running backupexec 2012 (sp4)…I know I know. Anyway, have a remote site with three virtual servers. Backups have been running fine there for a long time, now this week they decide to act up. BE2012 went away from one job backing up many servers to one job, one server, which I’ve heard is going away in 2014. Anyway, like I said, these backups have been fine, backing up all three servers to one tape for a long time. This week however, it decided to back up two servers on one tape, then jump to a different tape for the last server. Jobs are set to use any tape from a specified group, and the real weird thing is, the backup last night took a tape from the weekly group and changed it to the daily group for that one server. Anyone see this before? If so, what did you do to fix it? – Stevo ---

Well, I have no idea, but a thought occurred to me that, perhaps there could be corruption of the settings file for the backup, so have you tried deleting that and recreating the backup settings, or create a new one, and try using the new one to see if there’s any difference in results? : ) – Susan Novell Community Chat Moderator [http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq\_rules](http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq_rules) [http://www.ncci.org](http://www.ncci.org) NCCIrregulars Web Site [https://www.facebook.com/groups/NCCIrregulars](https://www.facebook.com/groups/NCCIrregulars) Please read the following before posting in here: [http://preview.tinyurl.com/27zopdy](http://preview.tinyurl.com/27zopdy) ---

Susan sounds like they ‘said’: [color=blue] > Well, I have no idea, but a thought occurred to me that, perhaps > there could be corruption of the settings file for the backup, so > have you tried deleting that and recreating the backup settings, or > create a new one, and try using the new one to see if there’s any > difference in results? : )[/color] So my response to Susan’s comment is… Not yet. I did go through them all this morning and made sure the settings were correct. Wondering if there _is_ some corruption. This last server did not get backed up all week, and after I went into the backup settings yesterday, it backed up last night, albeit to a separate tape. Fortunately we are backing up this location from another location as well. 😉 – Stevo ---

Test restore AND OPEN some files. I have seen properly verified tapes restore garbage with verified CRC etc.
