Backup Exec 2010
Hi Guys,
Having an issue with Backup Exec 2010. I have been backing my servers up daily however when i tried restoring some servers files and folders, they are missing the required backup job dates. I have had errors stating the job had errors but none of the errors refer to the files or folders having a problem. The job log shows nothing of the server was included in the backup job selection list.
Any ideas why this would happen?

The past job log show the servers that are missing weren't backed up, when investigating the errors in the log it shows no mention of the servers either.
The current selection list has the missing servers selected and shows on all the new backups. We had to do a restore of some files on the missing server about 2 weeks back, after that there is nothing for that server.

Had you run LiveUpdate I between those times?
ASKER
yes, i run live update weekly.
In 10 years of running backup exec on 3 different servers, only once did I run into something similar to this. On one server, all of my policy jobs disappeared - and it seemed to happen after a failed MS SQL MSDE update. I recreated the jobs, and they have been there ever since. But to have only certain servers drop off a selection list is very odd. I guess all I can tell you is to run a weekly check on that server for the next couple of weeks/months until you have confirmed if it was just a fluke.

its just curious that it is only missing from the servers restored to.

Thanks, it took a few months but a confession has been made by someone for making changes to the backup policies. tx for the assist
When you look at the current job properties, have you now added these server(s) to the selection list? And if so, do new job logs show that they are backing up these servers?
