SEP sesam Forum

Problem resolved, thank you for your insight!

I do run my new day event at 10:00 PM. I went in and moved the sesam backup job from 9:30 PM up to 9:00 PM, if you are correct that should fix my issue. I'll post a note tomorrow to let you know if the problem is resolved.

Thank you very much for your help!

Is anyone from Sep monitoring these forums? It is hard to have faith in a product when help requests go days with out any feedback.

Hi folks,

So does anyone have a suggestion on what to try to fix this error? Your help is appreciated!

I am running the backup job created by sesam to backup the backup database. This job ran with error for over eight months but recently started failing with the message: W008-BACKUP Backup broken during data transfer, partially restorable. Error: SESAM server signal received: [520 Operation aborted b...

I am looking for advice on how to correct the issue described below, please assist! I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 backup server running SEP sesam (R) - Standard Edition Kernel: server,4.2.1.27,20121218083446, and am backing up an Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS client. The client is running sesam installed fro...

So the feedback on received from sepusa was to leave the edb files in the backup to give you a second backup source if the exchange backup fails for some reason.

Unless anyone else has other advice I will leave the .edb files in the path backup job on the email server.
Regards,

John

My exchange 2010 backup ended with an error and a message: sm_reformat_lis returned exit state 2 What does this error message mean? How do I correct the issue? Thanks, John FYI: I tried to upload the log file as an attachment but the forum rejected .txt and .log attachments, Is there a way to upload...

I am using the Sesam Exchange backup to back up our exchange database. At the same time I do a path backup of the email server. Should I exclude the .edb files from the backup?

We are planning on installing Exchange 2010 service pack 2 on our email server. Are there any known issues with Sesam and Exchange 2010 service pack 2? Has anyone used/tested backing up Exchange 2010 service pack 2 with sesam?

Thanks for your feedback.

Besides running the SESAM_BACKUP job I also run a backup on the server where sesam is installed. Are there folders (?/var/opt/sesam/) that should be excluded when setting up the backup job of the sesam server?

If you check my original post you will see I already took the article you suggested in to account and opened all the ports listed. I did see one reference that suggested perhaps 11201 is also necessary?? I guess my question is whether the link you posted is current and complete (which means when I t...

We had a problem with getting Sesam connecting to a couple of Windows Server 2008 R2 servers we had added to our environment. We suspected firewall and started by looking on the wiki and based on the information there we opened TCP connections on the client (the windows servers) to ports 11001-11009...

I still get the same error. It is intermittent, a restart of the sesam service and then run the backup a second time usually gets a good one. So, for now I have switched the daily back-ups to drop using -o vss (on this server it is not critical for the incremental backups), and then if the weekly fa...
