Failure during backup of Oracle Database on Windows 2008
Hello Backup Exec experts,
We have run into a problem when trying to backup our Oracle database (11g) on our newly installed Windows 2008 R2 32 bits server.
We have gone trough all the configuration settings on the Backup Exec client on the server which we want to backup.
On the media server the Oracle databases are now showing and can be "drilled through".
All the tablespaces show and also the archive logs.
Also the permissions test works OK.
When trying to backup the database we encounter the following error:
<pre>Backup of an Oracle database fails with an error "Unknown CORBA exception. Unable to contact the media server. Confirm that the Backup Exec Job Engine service is running on the media server"</pre>
We also went trough all the suggested options on the support website of Symantec
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH58180
Unfortunately without any luck.
When we take a look at the "Oracle EM Client" we do see our failed attempts.
The details of each attempt show
