BE 12.5 unable to open SQL2008 database

[vette92]

I'm running a SQL2008 database on a win2008 server. This server is also running the backup (12.5 sp4)
Other instances of SQL (2000, 2005) gives no problem.

The error says "a network connection to the server can not be established" (credentials OK)

Error trace gives the following:

BEREMOTE: [05.08.10 23:06:22] [1132] FS_ResolveDevName: [SERVER3\POWEROFFICE]

Any pointers anyone???

Did you enable the "Named Pipes" in SQL 2008 ?

[Ben_L_ · Accepted solution]

This line tells me that you're running SQL 2008 R2
"SQL Agent: Version String { 10.50.1600.1 }"

SQL 2008 R2 is currently only supported with Backup Exec 2010 R2
