NDMP Subsystem, SQL 200, SP4 Upgrade

[Richard_Guy_2]

Hello-

After upgrading my SQL 2000 server running on Windows 2003 to SP$, I can no longer attach to the SQL database to perform backups. So far I have updated bexec 9.1 to sp2 and reinstalled. When I attempt to check the SQL Server checkbox I get the error:

an unknown error occurred within the NDMP subsystem

I have seen other posts on this issue, but no resolutions yet. Help!

Currently 9.x versions are not compatible with SQL 2000 SP4. There is no time table given when they will be compatible.

Please see the following KB article regarding compatiblity:

This article details how to do flat file backup of SQL 2000:

Hello,

1)Please check if the Remote agent has been installed correctly on the remote system. If not then reinstall the remote agent.

2)Add the IP address and Host name of the Remote server to LMHOSTS file and HOSTS file on media server and IP address and Host name of the Media server to LMHOSTS file and HOSTS file on Remote Server.
This might require a reboot for it to get loaded in to the system.

3)Please check if the Port 10000, which is the default port used by NDMP(Network Data Management Protocol) is not used by any other application.
Please download the utility TCPview from the lnik:

If it is used by another application, please follow the steps given in the following Technote:

Please update us the results.
