Norton do not appear to have a backup product designed for SBS.
Symantec's product for that environment is Backup Exec.


As far as SBS is concerned, it does not think you have a backup (and
it is probably right), so it will complain. I have not dug into SBS 2011
enough yet to know if it is possible to disable the backup check. You
could always schedule an SBS backup to somewhere convenient (that is
then picked up by your Norton product), which would make SBS happier.

Hello Steve,

I am sorry Backup Exec 2010

I am sorry, it is not Norton but "Symantec Backup Exec 2010".
I make a confusion with Norton and Symantec.


But, also with "Symantc Backup", I still get this Backup alarm.
Regards
Otto

You'd need to pester Symantec about integrating to the SBS Console -
though you might need a more current version of Backup Exec too (BE
2010 predates SBS 2011).

After a quick look-through, I do not see any obvious way to turn off
backup checks in the SBS console.

Hello Steve,
OK, I will ask Symantec if they have a solution about this.


Thanks for your help.
