Had SEVERAL problems with the BackupExec 2012. I managed to fix most of them. The problems begun after new years:

(No need to read all of that)
A moment ago after solving out most of the problems, the servers that previously had no problem contacting Backupexec or vice versa, yet gave the following error on all backed up servers:
Calling Method 'SetServerTrust'
BEMSDK Method 'MediaServerAdvertisementUpdate'
BEMSDK Failure Code: -536832867:X8
Ok so I run the following fixes mentioned in the article: https://vox.veritas.com/t5/Backup-Exec/Cannot-establish-trust/td-p/619592
"1. Stop Backup Exec services on the media server.
2. Move the certificates files from the Backup Exec DATA folder to a "SAVED" folder. These files have a *.CRT and *.KEY file extension.
3. Restart the Backup Exec services.
4. Right click the mouse on the server icons in the Backup Exec console and select "Establish Trust" This action will re-create the security certificates on the media server in the DATA folder between the media server and remote agent.
Backup jobs should now be able to be submitted."
I got rid of the error message but still the backup job refuces to start/work. What's weird is yesterday while one server apparently couldn't establish trust, yet it was still able to create a scheduled backup (with exceptions), then another one cannot. It start running but you can see from the traffic that nothing moves.
There have been no changes in the domain that should have any affect on BE's performance nor has NDPA port been changed on the BE server. Re-installing the agent manually would require restarting of the target machine which happens to be company's file server, so that's not really an option unless I want to work on the weekend. What to do? Or do I just have to delete evetyhing, re-install BE2012 again and would it even remove the agents from the servers? The worst part is that being from Europe means that BE16 (or an upgrade) isn't an option (apparently it's not sold outside NA). It's also rather annoying that whenever you've started a backjob to test if it works, it will not cancel unless you stop every single BE service from running, while they often get stuck which means you have to reboot the entire BE server.
