Errors backing up SIM 5.0 SP5 Databases via Backup Exec for Windows Servers

[J_Barrett]

am using SIM 5.0 SP5 with Veritas Backup Exec for Windows Vers 10 Build 5520 w/SQL Server Agent.

I receive the following errors when attempting to backup the SIM databases:

"Unable to open item Insight_v50_125326259.mdf - skipped."
"Unable to open item sqlbpa.mdf - skipped."
"Unable to open item vmm_db_v2.mdf - skipped."

The Backup Exec configuration has been checked; all other databases located on the SQL Server 2000 backup fine.

Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing these errors and how to resolve it?

Hi,

Please refer to:

During the backup of Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 or SQL Server 2000, the Microsoft SQL Server database files ( *.mdf and *.ldf ) are skipped.

Thanks so much for the solution! I never would have guessed that to be the problem cause as the other 7 databases were being backed up successfully.

Thanks again for the assistance!
