Backing up SQL

Hello - I am recently being faced with an error in my BE backups in regards to SQL.

Error: "The backupexec SQL agent was not used to create the last full, differential or log backup of this database. You must use SQL Agent to run a full backup before you can run a differential backup or transaction log backup..."

I am running full backup weekly and incrementals on daily. I have setup to allow my full backup of my SQL databases in my selection tab and also to allowed Full - Backup entire database or filegroup under the properties settings of the Full backup job.

Can anyone please advise on how to resolve this error?

Cheers!

SQL on a VM ?

Also, do look at - http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH58674 to verify the source of last backup

For all your SQL machines, virtual or real, you should not be running any SQL backups using the built-in SQL facility.
