I'm running Backup Exec Version 10.1 Rev. 5629 on a Windows 2003 Server with Service Pack 1. There are no SQL Databases apart from BE on this Server and it's not an Exchange Server either. Everything was running seamlessly.
Since installing Backup Exec 10.1 Service Pack 3 my jobs are failing as described below (details from the Job Log).

I haven't bought the AOF Option and it is greyed out and unchecked in the Backup Job Properties, i.e it's not in use. All Services and Dependent Services appear to be running.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
