Backup Exec

Administration Console may run slowly when first run

The first time that you select a server to do a CPS restore, a wait cursor appears and it may take several minutes before anything is displayed. Nothing in the console indicates that anything is happening and a user might think that nothing can be restored. This delay is caused by the mounting of the snapshots as volumes. The amount of time it takes to mount a snapshot is proportional to the size of the snapshot.

Job name and description are in a different language than the Administration Console

Consoles running on computers without the corresponding language pack that is installed is not able to properly interpret the job name or description. For example, when a job name is created with Japanese characters, these characters show as meaningless square boxes when the job is viewed on an English Console. Be sure that the language packs are installed for all languages of job names and descriptions that may be used in the Console.

Recovering restore selections to a restored or replaced Business Server

If a Business Server is deleted from the Backup Group, all restore selections also disappear. If the deleted Business Server is brought back into the Backup Group or another server is added with the same name as the deleted server, a new CPS backup job of at least one file can be created and run to resynchronize the restore selections. This situation requires reinstalling the Continuous Protection Agent and restarting the replaced/restored server.
