Sorry if this has been asked before, I've had a good search and not found anything. Also, I'm sorry for the stupid question, as I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.
I recently trailed Backup exec 12.5 to backup:
- server1 system state and files
- server2 system state and files
- server3 system state, files and SQL
So, in my infinate wisdom (under advice from a reseller) I ordered 1 x backup exec server, 2 x remote agents and 1 x sql agent. All makes sense so far?
Now, server1 has the backup exec server and that's licenced and running just fine, backing up the system state and files.
I've been trying to remote push install an agent licence to server2, but every time I get to the licence key section, and put in the licence key for the remote agent it errors with the following
"A licence key for the backup exec product must be entered to add options" WHY?! Surely it knows the key, as it's installed on the local server I'm pushing from?!
So anyway, to keep it happy I re-enter my backup exec server key, then on the next stage it looks like it wants me to install tape drivers and so forth, which i shouldn't need to as I'm backing up to a tape on the master server.
In short, WTF?!?! I don't want to reinstall the master server on server2, that's why I purchased a remote agent licence?!
Thanks :)
