Configuring the Backup Exec Migrator

All of the program files that are required to run the Backup Exec Migrator are installed when you install the Enterprise Vault Agent on the Enterprise Vault server. However, before you can use the Backup Exec Migrator, you must configure it to work with both a destination Backup Exec media server and the Enterprise Vault server.

Step

Description

Step 1

Configure Enterprise Vault collections.

See Vault store partition properties – Collections.

Step 2

Configure the Backup Exec Migrator to work with a Backup Exec media server.

See Configuring the Backup Exec Migrator to work with a Backup Exec media server.

Step 3

Configure the Backup Exec Migrator to work with Enterprise Vault.

See Configuring the Backup Exec Migrator to communicate with Enterprise Vault.

Use the following configuration recommendations for both the Backup Exec Migrator and the Enterprise Vault partitions:

  • Configure the Enterprise Vault partitions to save migrated data locally.

    Do not configure Enterprise Vault partitions to delete files immediately after a migration operation finishes.

    See your Enterprise Vault documention for details on configuring a partition for migration.

  • Configure the Backup Exec media server template to run staged migrations.

    See About using staged migrations with Backup Exec and the Backup Exec Migrator.

Failure to follow the configuration recommendations results in degraded migration and retrieval performance.
