Hi All,
I have come across a weird issue, which I've scratched my head for hours searching for a solution. I am not sure if other people have seen the same issue.
Basically there are (5) MS SQL 2000 SP4 Servers, four of those servers run on Windows 2003 32-bit and one runs on Windows 2003 64-bit. All servers are running the 32-bit version of Microsoft SQL 2000 SP4. The Backup Exec SQL Agent is also licensed. The problem I've encountered is that on the server running Windows 2003 64-bit, I can never get a good backup of any SQL databases. The backup job runs, but skips every single database (even northwind). The backup job finishes almost immediately (runs for about 2 - 4 seconds) and comes back with the following:
Error:
Backup- sqlsvr2.localgroup.local
Database \Northwind was not found, or could not be accessed.
Also gives this exception:
Backup- sqlsvr2.localgroup.local
The item sqlsvr2.localgroup.local\Northwind in use - skipped.
I am able to browse the SQL resources when creating the backup job, and also all credentials test are successful. I also know for a fact the Northwind database is not in use. The agent has been uninstalled & re-installed with the same outcome. Backup jobs on the Windows 2003 32-bit servers run fine.
Is there a known issue with the Backup Exec 64-bit Remote Agent backing up 32-bit databases?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
