Symantec Backup Exec

To configure the Backup Exc Migrator to communicate with Enterprise Vault

1. At the Enterprise Vault server, navigate to a vault store partition from which to migrate data.

2. Right-click the vault store partition, and then click Properties.

3. On the Migration tab, check Migrate files.

4. In Remove collection files from primary storage, set the time period for this option to something longer than zero days.

   Do not set it to zero days. Setting the time period to zero days causes Enterprise Vault to immediately delete the migrated data from the partition. More importantly, it causes the Backup Exec Migrator to create separate migration jobs for each partition folder being migrated during a migration period. If separate jobs are created, the resulting overhead that is required to run the jobs results in degraded migration and retrieval performance.

   See Configuring the Backup Exec Migrator.

5. Set other migration options as appropriate.

   See Vault store partition properties – Migration options.

6. On the Advanced tab, ensure that Symantec Backup Exec appears in the List setting from field.

7. In the window below the List setting from field, select Backup Exec media server.

8. Click Modify.

9. Type the name or the IP address of the destination Backup Exec server.

10. Click OK.

11. Select Backup Exec DBA-initiated template.

12. Click Modify.

13. Enter the name of an existing template that uses the Enterprise Vault server Vault Service account credentials.

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

14. Click OK.

15. Ensure that the name of the template that contains the Enterprise Vault server Vault Service account credentials appears in the Setting pane.
