Error Starting backup Exec 2010 R2 Services.

We have installed Symantec BAckup Exec 2010 R2 on Windows 2008 Server.

Everything was working fine until suddenly the services now fails to start.

Tried rebooting but did not solve the problem.

There are 3 services which fails to start.pls see the below logs for those 3 services.

 

Starting Backup Exec Server on BACKUPSVR-WH.
Error starting the service Backup Exec Server on BACKUPSVR-WH.  Error code returned: 
The process terminated unexpectedly.
 
Starting Backup Exec Job Engine on BACKUPSVR-WH.
Error starting the service Backup Exec Job Engine on BACKUPSVR-WH.
The dependency service or group failed to start.
 
Starting Backup Exec Agent Browser on BACKUPSVR-WH.
Error starting the service Backup Exec Agent Browser on BACKUPSVR-WH.
The dependency service or group failed to start.
 

Symantec Backup Exec is a dependency service for job engine and agent browser, hence those two are not starting unless the exec server is starting.

the server is in domain using admin credentials.

googled the error but could not found much

any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks

  • Everyday BE runs a database maintenance and creates a backup of the BE database. Try to reload 

    the last good database.

    Open BEutility.exe->right click on the media server->Recover database->select drop existing 

    database and reload from backup.

    Note: Do make a copy of the data folder before performing the above step
