Error 1068 when attempting to start BackupExec

Go to the Windows Event Viewer and see which of the BE services are not started and correct that.

Apply all the latest hotfixes.

Check the Sql servcie for the Bkupexec instance if that is running ...Do you have Backup exec database on the same server using Sql express or have you installed it on SQl server .

Start the services in the following order
SQl(Bkupexec)
BE Remote agent
Be Device and media
Be server service
Be job engine service
Be Agent browaser
Be dlo servcies if installed

1) Configure the SQL Server (BKUPEXEC) service and Backup Exec Remote Agent service with the local system account.

2) Configure the Backup Exec Device & Media, Server Service, Job Engine & Agent Browser service with the domain admin account.

3) First start the SQL Server service, then Device&Media service, then Server service followed by Job Engine and Agent Browser.

4) If the services are not starting check the error message in the application log & system log under event viewer.

turns out the SQL service hadn't started thus causing the butterfly effect. once this service was started all was well. R3
