error with MSSQL after installtion of BackupExec 10

Hello,

Backup exec installs an MSDE instance which keeps the Backup exec database. Thus even if you don't have MSSQL installed, backup exec installs the MSDE.

In case you have problems installing this, look for any other specific errors in the MSDE_BKUPEXEC log. Also check for errors in the Windows event logs.Try installing it separately as per the steps in the technote below:

http://support.veritas.com/docs/263147

After installing MSDE, retry the installation of Backup exec.

Revert with details if issue persists.

Regards.

I installed the MSDE separately as described in the previous answer. Everything went fine, no errors occured. I restarted the computer. No errors either in the Windows events log. Under services I checked and the MSSQL service was started automatically.

I then started BackupExec setup and followed all the steps. It did discover and instance of the MSSQL databse ("BackupExec") and proceeded with the installtion. After restart, however, the same error as always appeared and Windows reported that a service could not be started.

Again, I have no idea what the service that could not be started does. I don't even know whether it is a problem or not. But that just can't be right, can it?

Below I will put the MSDE_BACKUPEXEC log (again, my IP is xxx'ed):

Thanks.

The exact error message in the windows log is:

18205:
ksconsole: Could not initialize console operation

And this has been the very exact error I always get after remove/reinstall of BackupExec.
The other log looks like what I've posted before.

Hello,

Can you start the MSSQL$Bkupexec service?

Or Are you getting any error while starting it?

I have walked through various possible solutions now with someone from Veritas support.
Sadly enough, we did not find any.
However, we have now set up BackupExec to backup data and that always worked without any problem.
So the Support Agent concluded that the error was maybe not an error but more of a warning.
I still think that's pretty odd. But since everything seems to work OK, I will rest content with that explanation for now.
Thanks for all the help offered here.
