From the screenshot you can see that Agent for Applications and Database is missing.

So if yoou had selected any application databases like SQL, or Exchange or Sharepoint then they got backed up for 60 days. Now the Trial period is expired so it gives the error.

What are the resources selected for backups in the job for which its failing??

Thanks,

Have the license screenshot..... the backup has been running ok without problem..

It has just started today

You have posted the same screenshot. I understand that Backup Exec product is licensed. But the license for backing up Applications and Databases is not installed.

So you have to figure out what application/database is selected in that failing backup job and accordingly add the license.

One more point.... I do not see Agent for Windows installed. So if you are backing up any remote server then it will fail as the trail period has expired.
