Completed Status: Completed with exceptions

[drwang1]

I am running Symantec Backup Exec 10d on my companies Windows 2003 server. Every night I run a Defferential Backup and once a week on the weekend I run a full Backup. Recently when I look to make sure the Backup was ran correctly I've been getting this as the status:

       "Backup Completed with Exceptions"

Here are the exceptions that were listed:

Can someone please let me know why this is happening and if there is a fix.

Thank You

Hello

 The files which are been skipped are the SQL database files. To backup SQL DB files

 you need to install the Remote Agent for SQL license.

[Ken_Putnam]

The mdf and ldf files are being skipped because SQL Server has them open

Even if you shut down the SQL Server service, Backup Exec will skip the files because the file types fall within the Active File Exclusion parameters

If you have the SQL Agent, you should be covered

Dang, Amol

What is it with me and you?

[drwang1]

Thank you for your answers.

What I don't get is the fact that it was running complete backups without these exceptions and the past week they are completing with exceptions.

Also, to throw it out there I'm a rookie at this.

No worries Ken, i guess the issue is with the website refresh interval.

Any service applied to Backup Exec?  Windows Service?

I'm not sure why you would not have gotten these errors/warnings before.  This is the way tha BackupExec would be expected to behave
