General issues

  • Veritas System Recovery 18 Management Solution does not support running a backup policy as a task on Linux clients.

  • Virtual conversion to an ESXi server on an x64 platform fails if the ESXi host password contains the '@' character. Veritas System Recovery uses VMware VDDK for the virtual conversion. VMware VDDK cannot parse the '@' character in the password. Refer to the following technote for additional information about this issue.

    Note:

    This issue is not observed on an x86 platform.

  • Veritas System Recovery 18 Linux Edition does not support some of the advance backup options. If you assign a backup policy with advance options to Linux-based computers, Veritas System Recovery 18 Management Solution ignores the advance options. For information about the backup options that Veritas System Recovery 18 Linux Edition does not support, refer to the Veritas System Recovery 18 Linux Edition User's Guide.

  • If you have set up a Dedicated Offsite Copy task to work with password-protected recovery points, ensure that you enter the passwords into the recovery point password store.

  • When a password-protected recovery point is copied using the Dedicated Offsite Copy task (and later used in other tasks, such as Convert to Virtual or Independent Recovery), the password that a user provides is not validated.

  • When the recovery points are published back to Veritas System Recovery 18 Management Solution, the history of the recovery points is published in which the backup destination details are available without the credentials. Ensure that you manually update the credentials of the published backup destination so that the Veritas System Recovery tasks can use the recovery points and tasks can be performed successfully. For recovery points that are protected, update the password store with the credentials so that the Veritas System Recovery task, which uses the protected recovery points is performed successfully.

  • To access Notification Server remotely (and the database is remotely configured), you must do the following:

    • In Notification Server console, click Settings > Notification Server > Database settings.

    • Click Use SQL Login.

    • Specify the correct SQL login ID and password.
