    First off, it's going to be hard if you don't know EV and SQL so you have to find somebody who does.  We've had many problems with EV and I've had to learn along the way - NOT the recommended practice! 

    Look at the bpkar logs on the SQL server for clues as to why some DBs failed.  Normally you'd look in other places like dbclient for SQL but EV is a different animal. 

     

    Second, you shouldn't have to use bpstart and bpend to set/clear backupmode if everything is configured properly.  That is a big IF!!  Read the EV Admin Guide and relevant TECHNOTES until your eyes are blurry.  Then take a break and read them again until you get it perfect.
