Easiest thing to do is ask your VNX administrators to extend the LUN. &nbsp;Once the LUN is extended then you could increase the drive size using Windows Disk Manager under Computer Management. &nbsp;The other option would be to create another disk on the backup server (again your VNX administrator would have to do this), add the disk to BackupExec and let BackupExec use the second drive. &nbsp;I haven't worked with BackupExec and I am not sure if it supports watermarks to ensure minimum specified disk space free at all times by either expiring the oldest images or moving them off to tape.

I am running a backupexec 2010 and the media on which i am getting the backup is on same server where backupexec is running.But right now i have a problem of disk space and some of my jobs are failing.the drive space is managed by EMC storage VNX.<br />
what is the way to move this data to some other place so that i could get a free space on this drive.please tell me the way out and media names to accomplish this task.please reply me in urgent.<br />
I also want to know the media name used by backupexec to take the backup of domian controllers and virtual infrastructure

Symentic backup

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
