BE2014 V-Ray complains about DLO_BE ms sql database in BKUPEXEC

Thanks for the clarification of the issue. I may do this later, in case this issue still will cause me problems. So far I just deselected DLO DB from backup task.

BE2014 is installed in virtual server.... and yes, I know this is not recommeded by Symantec, but I anyway have this kind of setup.

Its not recommended only if you use pass-thru storage devices such as a tape unit connected to the virtualized VM, else having BE on a virtual server is perfectly fine.

If DLO isn't being used anymore, then ~

Using SQL Management Studio or OSQL, deattach and delete the DLO DB. And check if the DLO mdf/ldf files are still present in the actual physical location or not. If yes, they can be removed as well. (Cannot edit out of BEDB as BEDB & DLO DB are 2 separate DBs.)

Alternatively, there isn't any need to explicitly backup the SQL instance used by Backup Exec, as Backup Exec automatically backs up its DB as part of a daily maintenance plan.
