Configuring the Backup Exec Migrator to work with a Backup Exec server
Use the following steps to configure the Backup Exec Migrator to work with a destination Backup Exec server.
Note:
It is recommended that you configure two server storages devices when you configure the Backup Exec Migrator to work with Backup Exec. Configuring two storage devices lets you create a staged migration for your archived Enterprise Vault data.
See About using staged migrations with Backup Exec and the Backup Exec Migrator.
See Configuring the Backup Exec Migrator to communicate with Enterprise Vault.
To configure the Backup Exec Migrator to work with a Backup Exec server
- At the Backup Exec server, start Backup Exec.
- Create a logon account that uses the Enterprise Vault server Vault Service account credentials.
Vault Service account credentials are used so that Backup Exec and the Backup Exec Migrator can complete the migration operation.
- Click the Backup Exec button and then select Configuration and Settings.
- Click Backup Exec Settings, and then click DBA-initiated Job Settings.
- Select the DEFAULT template, and then click Edit.
You can also use an existing template, or you can create a new template specifically for Enterprise Vault migrations.
- Under Storage, select Any disk storage as the primary storage location for migrated data, and then set the options you want to use with the device.
- Under Migrator for Enterprise Vault, click the down arrow next the field for Vault Service account credentials.
- Select the logon account that you created in step 2.
- In the DBA-initiated Job Settings dialog box, set other options as appropriate.
- Do one of the following:
If you want to configure staged migrations
Do the following in the order listed.
Under Duplicate Job Settings, check Enable settings to duplicate backup sets for this job.
In the Storage list, select a type of storage.
Set other options as appropriate.
Click OK.
See About using staged migrations with Backup Exec and the Backup Exec Migrator.
If you do not want to configure staged migrations
Continue with step 12.
- Click OK.
- Configure Backup Exec Migrator to work with Enterprise Vault.
See Configuring the Backup Exec Migrator to communicate with Enterprise Vault.
