     An update on this problem.

    Although it is not resolved we have a workaround that actualy suits our needs better.

    We made our own rman scripts and use this as a pre-script to the actual backup task.
    BU2012 now only backups the location of our generated backup files. This gives us more freedom in rman configuration (file retention etc) and in how and what we backup.

    @Sasha, thank you for your time and energy
     

    Kind regards,

Again Thank you for your reply Sasha!

I followed the steps you describe and the log files are generated but they are empty. I put the -debug parameter in the backup exec Remote agent serice to generate the files. these too are empty

I tried collecting data with the VxGather tool to, but these are not that usefull.

Meanwhile I tried reinstalling my agent and services on the destination machine but this to no avail.
 

I keep receiving the BENGINE:  [11/18/13 14:47:55] [9512]     2013-11-18T14:47:54.726 [engapi]             -    No password Found
message in my backup exec server log.
