You should provide more details &/or screenshots on how you exclude these files.

pkh commented on: Verify media set after duplication
Other than copying the backup set, the duplicate process also updates the catalog so that you can use the duplicated backup set. The verify process for the duplicated backup set is to ensure that it can be read back.  If you skip the verify ...

pkh commented on: Issue with reusing BTD folder disk space
Media Management under Options is set up with None for the OPL When you do this, any OPP does not apply.  You should set your OPL to at least Partial. Also, set your OPP to 1 hour.  I find that I get funny results when I set the OPP ...

pkh commented on: BE2010 R3 Issue - Tapes reverting to old media sets after being put into Scratch
You might want to go to the BE installation directory and use BEUtility to repair the BEDB.

pkh commented on: Backup Job stopping saying media full.. its not full!
I would suggest that you click on the tapes and check the tape statistics for errors.  If there are a lot of errors, replace the tapes and/or the tape drive.
discussion comment 21 May 2013
pkh commented on: Please insert overwritable
The error message indicates that there is no overwritable tape available to the job.  Doing an inventory will not change the overwrite status of the tapes.  Check the OPP setting in your media set and make sure that you have sufficient ...

pkh commented on: Erase media using BEMCMD - BEX 2010
You cannot erase by media set.  At the minimum, you must know the slots that contain the tapes that you want to erase.  See the BEMCMD -o111 switch on page 64 of the manual below http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH126925

pkh commented on: Backup agent license
The licence is always installed on the media server.  If you have formatted your remote Linux server, the licence is not affected.  You just install the Linux server and the remote, and then you are good to go.

IDR is available in the trial version of BE.
discussion comment 21 May 2013
pkh commented on: Monthly Duplicate full backup to tape
If the full backup is duplicated in the policy, is that I cannot use manual duplicate to make a copy of it? You should be able to.  There is no restriction for making manual duplicates. If you cannot see your backup sets, it might be that ...

pkh commented on: Change Credentials At Once
1) Create the new logon account. 2) Delete your old logon account.  You would be prompted to replace it and you can specify the new logon account.

pkh commented on: Monthly Duplicate full backup to tape
If you want another duplicate of all your backups, it would be easier to have 2 duplicate jobs run after your backup.  There is less chance of errors.  Alternatively, do a manual duplicate and you can select whichever backup sets that ...

pkh commented on: SQL Logs not being deleted after backup
Did you, as suggested by the error messge, go to the particular column and see why the log space cannot be re-used?

BE 2010 R3 SP3 will support Windows 2012.  However, SP3 is not out yet. GA is expected to be in July.

pkh commented on: Erase media using BEMCMD - BEX 2010
You do not need to erase a tape before using it if you have set the OPP correctly.  If you need to make a tape immediately overwriteable, just right-click on it in the Media tab and associate it with the scratch media set. To understand how ...

pkh commented on: BE2010 R3 Issue - Tapes reverting to old media sets after being put into Scratch
When a tape is used by a job, the tape will be placed in the media set that is targeted by the job.  This is by design.  When your tape is moved to a media set, check your job log to see that it has been used by the job.  If it is ...

pkh commented on: BE2010R3SP2 - Weekly Backup Jobs Failing with Unknown Errors
Is your drive using 4k sector size?  If it is then, this is not supported by any OS other than Windows 2012 which is currently not supported by BE.  You would need to reformat your drive to 512e sector size.
