Hello experts!<br />
<br />
I have a physical server running Symantec backup Exec 2010 and am using local D2D storage (dedicated second internal Array). &nbsp;I have added a NAS server to the network and provisioned it in SBE as a second D2D device. &nbsp;I will be visualizing this entire server and do not want to virtualize the old D2D storage location so i would like to archive/move that data to the new D2D folder. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I cannot find a best practice for simply moving SBE media from one location to another safely. &nbsp;I have already redirected the backup jobs to utilize the new D2D storage and jobs are successful. &nbsp;Now I am worried about my historical backups. &nbsp;What is the best practice method for moving D2D media from one physical device to another while maintaining SBE catalog database integrity?

Hello experts!

I have a physical server running Symantec backup Exec 2010 and am using local D2D storage (dedicated second internal Array).  I have added a NAS server to the network and provisioned it in SBE as a second D2D device.  I will be visualizing this entire server and do not want to virtualize the old D2D storage location so i would like to archive/move that data to the new D2D folder.  

I cannot find a best practice for simply moving SBE media from one location to another safely.  I have already redirected the backup jobs to utilize the new D2D storage and jobs are successful.  Now I am worried about my historical backups.  What is the best practice method for moving D2D media from one physical device to another while maintaining SBE catalog database integrity?

Moving Media on Backup Exec 2010 from one D2D to a new D2D Safely

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

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

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.
