Hi,
noobie here with Oracle and Backup Exec. I really need help...

I am having problems with backing up of my Oracle Databases.
![Smiley Sad Smiley Sad](/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.png)
The error is as follows:
"Directory {ARCHIVED LOGFILES}\ was not found, or could not be accessed.
None of the files or subdirectories contained within will be backed up."
I have already configured the Oracle Agent and point to the archive log directory as well as the control files. I can see the database SIDs under the Oracle Agent when doing the backup. The control file is backed up as I have the BECF file under the control file directory. Only the Archive Logfiles is empty. I have made sure that I have full access priviledges to the folder where the DB is residing and turn on the archiving bit but still no results.
I have another DB running and there is no problem backing up that DB.
I am running backup exec 9.1 on a Win2K SP4 server and my Oracle server is Win2003 with SP2 and Oracle version is 9i.
Also, as mentioned, I have another DB that I "successfully" backup daily through Oracle Agent. But when I tried to restore the contents to another server for testing, there are no DB files. Only the Archive Log files and the BECF file. Fyi, I did not do the restoration through Oracle Agent cos I am trying to simulate a restore to a backup server.
Did I configure my backup job wrongly? Currently, I have already selected everything that I can see on the Oracle Agent to be backed up. Are there any other things that I need to backup or did I perform the restoration wrongly?
