Backup Exec 10d SP2 - Job Engine stopping during backups

Troy_Evans
Level 2
I have upgraded a site from backup exec 10 to backup exec 10d SP2
they are running on Win 2003 server SP1

Ever since then i have been getting what appear to be an intermittent failure of the job engine service.

The job engine stops at a random time into the backup job.
it has made it only a few seconds in and as far as 3hrs 30mins into the job.

Out of the 5 failures where the job engine has stopped 4 jobs have had a status of missed/recovered and 1 has had a status of cancelled.

Each time the job engine has stopped i have received the following event in the application log:

===========================================================

The faulting application is always bengine.exe
The module has been:
ntdll.dll - three times
catcommon.dll - once
bestdutl.dll - once


I have tried renaming the catalogues folder.
Running a database repair
Deleting and recreating the backup job from scratch.


When i look at the logs of the failed jobs they all say unexpected end of output.
and 4 of them stop just after saying the exchange agent has been started.

Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall just the exchange agent?

Does anyone have any further ideas?

Well - backup failed again last night according to the application log the job engine stopped at 0330.

unfortunately backup exec gui has died and all it will display is an error box with nothing in it but an ok button.

tried stopping all backup exec services and starting bkup exec again - same blank error.

So i will now uninstall and reinstall the whole product.

yeay.

Hi,

What is the version of Exchange?

Are you using AOFO for the backups?

What are the event ids you getting?

Any alerts?

Try to repair Backup exec with the help of following dokument.

I uninstalled and reinstalled backup exec.

I still had an error backing up the system state on one server.

I reinstalled 2003 service pack1 on that server.

backups are now successfull.

I don't know what the cause of the issues was.


you can close this job now.
