Any way to make Backup Exec choose storage for job properly? : <p>Here is my problem: We are using Backup Exec 16 with 3 drives (2TB each) for storage configured (SAN device with 3 RAID arrays exposed to BE). </p>

<p>Since there is not much space, I had to configure backup jobs to use ANY storage it sees fit, because otherwise it would be a nightmare to balance storage usage. And that is where my problem begins: For some reason Backup Exec tries to do impossible things, like backup 170 GB mailbox database to the storage which have 50GB free, or even to full storage, while there is another storage with over 500GB to do the job. </p>

<p>I thought maybe that 500 GB Free storage was full at time of backup, so I ran backup job manually, but no luck - it still chooses another full storage, instead of proper one.</p>

<p>So, my question is: Is BE supposed to be dumb as rock or is that me misconfigured something?</p>

<p>PS: Also I am not allowed to rebuild those 3 raids into one space. </p>
