NAS device (linksys file server)

I am using BE 9.1 on a Windows 2000 based domain.
I recently added a Linksys 60 gig file server that I need to back up. The jobs all fail with the message:

Final error: 0xa000fe29 - Authentication failed on connection to the server.

I created an administrator account in BE that matches the user name and password of the admin account for the Linksys server. I also created an administrator account on my domain with the same user name and password.

I tried logging in to BE with that account and usoing a user defined selection- no joy
I tried using a "user defined selection" and assigning the user credentials for the Linksys admin account. No joy
I can't backup the files as a part of my windows defined selection, as remote agent can't be installed on the Linksys file server.


I really need to have these files backed up....
any suggestions?

If memory serves me correctly the BE account needs to be a member of the domain admins group. Assuming that your fileserver is a member of the domain. Then again if you have a seperate account on the file server you should be albe to backup via userdefined shares. The account needs to be added to the logon accounts within BE though.

Hi Phill!

Verify if Backup Exec Remote Agent For Windows Servers service is running under local system account .

You may also need to check all of your BackupExec login accounts (in BE, Network->Logon Accounts) and reset each of their passwords to what they should
be for your servers.

Thanks and regards,

Remote agent cannot be run on the Linksys device. Remote agent is running on the PC I am working from.

The admin account for the Linksys device is a domain admin account also. It is also listed as an account in BE.

I will check passwords first - I am not sure the password in BE for the Linksys admin aacoount is correct. I also cannot back up folders that my login account has access rights to.

I will try to post details of accounts here.. maybe someone has a magic decoder ring.. I lost mine!

Thanks

OK here is the latest:
1. I set the password for my Linksys admin account to xxxxxx (No, I'm not gonna tell you what it is)
2. I created an account on my domain.
Username admin
Password xxxxxx (same as the Linksys account password
3. I created an account for Backup exec (it's a restricted account)
Username domain/admin
Password xxxxxx (same as the Linksys account password
4. I creasted a second account on Backup exec
Username linksys/admin
Password xxxxxx (same as the Linksys admin password

I tried logging into BE with the admin account. A backup of the linksys server with the domain/admin account fails - error a000fe29

I tried setting the resource credentials to linksys/admin. The job faisl with the same error.

Obviously I am doing something wrong.. I have no clue what tho.

Can someone help me out please?
