Cannot Move BEDB Database

[Future5]

I am trying to move the BEDB Database from a SQL 2000 Server to a SQL 2005 Server as we have installed a new server and started migrating our applications over.

I have tried following the instructions at http://support.veritas.com/docs/275658 but when I select the new location and click OK I get a prompt advising that services will be stopped in order to continue - I click OK to this and after a few seconds the BEUtility application exits without warning.

I am running BE 10d SP3 (reported in BEUtility as v10, b5629, r01).

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks

I have had a look at that but my version is already greater than that and I am able to backup SQL 2005 databases without problem.

An Application Error is logged when BEUtility exits as follows:

Faulting application BEUtility.exe, version 10.1.5629.34, faulting module BEUtility.exe, version 10.1.5629.34, fault address 0x0006cbbf.

Anyone?

I need to do this soon as I will be decomissioning the old SQL server in the near future.

I guess that the deafening silence means that Symantec support are (as usual) next to useless!

After Symantec bought BackupExec, these "moderated" forums became Peer-to-Peer.

Symantec Employees come in as their schedules permit, primarily in the v11d forum

Don't have a clue as to why you cannot move the MSDE to SQL 2005, sorry

Thanks for the reply Ken.

Keith, did you find out why BEUtility was termianted while trying to move database from MSDE to SQL2005? I'm having exactly same problem

[Future5]

Rafal - I have still not found a solution to this problem.  I am not moving from MSDE however, I am moving from full SQL 2000 to full SQL 2005.

I need to decomission the old SQL server in the near future so unless I can find a solution, I will have to simply reinstall BE and point it to a new server - although I want to avoid that as I want the history.

If you do the uninstall/re-install thing, see http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/280710.htm to save all your local info (job defs, selection lists, schedules, etc)

Be sure to read the "Do Not Use If ...." near the top
