...if there is an antivirus installed, put in an exclusion for beremote.exe and try again.

Thanks!

I've tried to

- Put the Backup Exec program folder to Anti-Virus exclusion list

- Uninstall Anti-Virus program.

- reinstall Backup Exec program

it fails to start when reboot the server.

 

After run beremote -console command, some error or failed show in the console.

There should be more lines of debug when you run beremote -console. Are these the ony lines which appear ?

And do ensure this service is set to use the local system account.
