Backup Agent error

khartman
Not applicable

I am getting an error saying the backup exec sql agent was not used to create the last full backup, differential or log backup of this database. You must use the sql agent to run a full backup before you can run a differential backup or transaction log backup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am just not getting it from the knowledge base solution.

Thank you

I have found this error is usually caused by some kind of database utilities or backups running that interferes with Backup Exec.  see:  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH58674

If the SQL Server database is in a VM, then you should not backup the VM between the full and log/differential backups. The VM backup will disrupt the SQL backup cycle. You must do your VM backup just before the full SQL backup
