HostID value must fall within the range error

Hi,

We are having some problems with setting up BackupExec 2012 when we try to edit or create a backup for a Windows server.

When we attempt to edit an existing job or creating a new one, and save the changes, we receive the following error:

HostId: The length of the value must fall within the range "0" (Inclusive) - "32" (Inclusive).

The HostId that's been assigned to the server (to be backed up) is it's IPv6 address, which is obvously longer than 32 characters in length. The server is running SP1a with all available updates according to LiveUpdate.

How would we go about fixing this error?

We are having a few other problems (it's our first time setting up BackupExec) but I will post them separately.

Thanks,

Stephen N
