Hi CharlesLove Thanks for your reply.
I have managed to get it working now.
Why isn't backup exec updated to the correct version using live update? It seems a waste of time running live update if it dosent update the software to the latest version.
any why make it so complicated and have to reboot a server so many times to get the software installed. Normally if you are backing up to an exsisting server the server is live and getting the users off is an impossible task.
