Backup Network Share

[brvaland]

Hi Experts

I would like to backup a network share using backup exec but i receive the following error messages.

Click an error below to locate it in the job log
Backup- XXXXXXV-79-57344-3844 - The media server was unable to connect to the Remote Agent on machine XXXXXX.

The media server will use the local agent to try to complete the operation.

Unable to initialize Remote Agent

Backup- XXXXXXV-79-57344-65277 - AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\\XXXXXX\ClientWeb". Advanced Open File Option used: No.

Remote Agent not detected on XXXXX.

Any help will be highly appreciated

Kind Regards

Well you cant use AOFO on the network share that is for sure....  Turn that off and try again.

The Advanced Open File Option is already turned off, please see attached screenshot.

If the device holding the Network Share has NDMP enabled then you will have to either disable NDMP on the device - or chaneg teh NDMP port on and servers running Backup Exec components so that BackuP Exec does not belive a remote agent is instaleld just because it gets and answre on NDMP.

Also you must have at least one Remoet Agent leicens installed on the BackuP Exec Media Server even though you are backing up over a share for this to work.
