I have a simple backup job setup for a remote server. It backs up one folder residing on the E: drive of the remote server. This backup was working fine without issue until yesterday. Yesterday I got the error:
Job ended: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 11:01:25 PM
Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xe000fe3c - Before you can back up this resource, you must purchase and install a license key for the appropriate Backup Exec agent. See the job log for details.
Final error category: Security Errors
For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-65084
So, I checked the site: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/326762.htm. And all it suggested is my licensing being incorrect. This can't be as it has been working without issue. Also, this link says this would occur after an upgrade. I haven't upgraded this installation. I installed it as 12.5 from the beginning. But to be sure I checked my licenses. I have two in there: "Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers" and "Remote Agent for Windows and NetWare Servers".
After that I looked around google and found someone having the same issue: http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/backup-exec-125-jobs-failing-final-error-0xe00084af. A reboot of the remote server solved his problem but I wasn't so lucky. What led him to reboot was that he couldn't even use ntbackup locally on the remote server to backup his data. I was able to backup the one folder without a problem using ntbackup.
I did some more troubleshooting:
1. updated the server component completely
2. uninstalled/reinstalled the remote agent
3. backed up something locally on the BEX server
4. attempted to backup a different folder on the remote server using no policies and a different selection list
Nothing seems to work. The "Security Errors" points to a permissions problem but where? Does someone have some more troubleshooting steps? TIA!
Solved! Go to Solution.
