Hi Joe!

Cause behind the first error could be that the user account specified in Backup Exec to back up/restore the resource does not have sufficient rights to back up/restore the resource.

Please verify that the user name has at least "Read" access to the resource being backed up/restored.

For the second error, please refer to following technote:

Thanks and regards,
