Final error: 0xe000fe30 - A communications failure has occurred. (local backup)

Do you have BE 2010 R3 and all available service packs and hotfixes installed ?
If not, please install R3 and run liveupdate to update BE !

I will do this right away.

Updates are all done

Not sure how did you re-install beremote.exe when its a local backup

Exclude your BE services from any AV scans...also check if port 10000 is in use by some other process/app or not

Hi i disabled the AV and had the same problem when i ran the backup without.

I did a port check like you asked and the port is a good boy this time.
TCP    **-srv01:10000         **-srv01.******.local:0  LISTENING so no problem on the port

and I found this in the application log.
Faulting application beremote.exe, version 13.0.5204.114, faulting module bedssql2.dll, version 13.0.5204.0, fault address 0x00031431.

Try the solution per this KB - http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH153810

The link comes back with nothing when i use it.
Could you check the link please?

I am using backup exec to backup an sql db.
Can i still try this solution?

If there is no SQL on this remote server, it should be fine...

this dll rename actually disables the SQL agent on the server where the change is made
