10x. yes I'm using Windows server 2003 and what is VSS? do you mean? Volume Shadow Copy Service in windows? and if you do mean that so how it related to backup exec?
10x for your help.
Hmm. Looks like I gave you some bad advice there. I was talking about the
way MOST of these products work.
I'm assuming this is Windows. Can you switch you using VSS instead?

Subject: [BEXEC] AOFO cache or "static volume"
"The location of the static volume can be automatically determined by the
Use default option or a fixed drive can be specified (Figure 2). If Use
default is selected, the static volume will be created on a drive that is
not selected for backup. However, if all drives are selected for backup, the
static volume will be created on all the drives at the same time."
this is from the article i read:
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/256762.htm
and my situation is that i back only drive D so it means it try to put the
cache on another drive. it is realy bad that i don't know how much space the
cache will need because the backup now failes for the 3rd time this week.
what can i do?

Actually the snap is usually on the sam volume otherwise how would you
backup just a c drive?
As to size, it's based on how much activity happens on the drv while u r
backing it up.

i get this error: AOFO: Not enough disk space on the device running the
Advanced Open File Option (AOFO) to create or increment the cache file.
i try to understand how does backup exec calculate the cahe size.
i try to backup server with 3 volumes (Disks):
C: - Capacity: 15 GB available: 3.75 GB
D: - Capacity: 121 GB Available: 28 GB
E: - Capacity: 68 GB Available: 6 GB
D drive is the drive beeing snapped (backed up), so from what i understand
it locate the cache file into volume with the larger space available that is
not been snapped which mean it locat it on E right?
but how much space available it needs on E for the cache?
