Backup Exec - Restore Wizard Stucks at Validating Drive

I have Backup Exec 2014 running on Windows Server 2012 R2, everytime I try to restore data to a differrent location other than the original, Backup Exec keeps validating drive forever, even if the "differrent" location is exactly the same with the original. I also try using local path without "\\server\", which does not make any differrence.

If I select "To the original location", it works fine.

What should I do?

Is there a remote agent on the server in question?

What happens if you restore locally on the media server?

Thanks!

Hi Craig.

No, there is no remote agent.

As long as the restore destination is differrent from the original location, no matter the destination is local or remote, the problem occurs.
