SPS2001 and BE 10d

[Nathan_Gau]

I'm a newbie with all of this and I'm hoping that one or two of you
have a bit more experience than me and can point me in the right
direction. Here goes:

I have a backup exec server running 10d. I also have a stand alone
Sharepoint 2001 server. An agent currently runs which dumps the
contents of the sharepoint database to a backup file for a full backup.


However no backups are currently running on the individual workspaces.


On my backup server, I recently added the license key for the
Sharepoint Portal Server Agent that integrates with backup exec.


I want to create a backup job for my sharepoint server that will
specifically target the sharepoint installation. This is where my
knowledge of backup exec/sharepoint runs dry. I assume, that like
everything else, I can drill down in the selections list and simply
check the sharepoint installation. I try this, but Sharepoint is not
visible when I drill down to the Portal Server. I've also noticed that


there's a "Microsoft Sharepoint Server Farms" option under remote
selections as well. There is nothing in it. I right click on it and
select the "add server farm" option. I type in my web server name, but


it won't take it. From the remote server, I've turned on advertizing
and specified my backup server. This too has been unsuccessful.


I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I've looked all over for something


that tells me how to configure the SPS agent, but there is nothing
intuitive in backup exec to do this. All the internet docs that I've
searched are either vague or just kind of assume that the basic setup
is good to go. Either something is wrong, or I need to do some more
configuring to get this to work. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which one


is which.


Can someone help me? Does anyone have some step by step instructions
to configure this, or is there actually a problem here that I need to
troubleshoot. If so, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas that could steer me in the right direction?

Hello,



1)Please check if the Remote agent has been installed correctly on the remote system and its version is same as Backup Exec version(10d).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. To do this, you will need to locate the lmhosts.sam file and edit it with notepad. Add the target servers name to bottom of the file, and save. 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. If it is used by another application, please follow the steps given in the following Technote:

TITLE: How to change the port that NDMP uses in VERITAS Backup Exec 9.x for Windows Servers

http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/255498.htm

4) Kindly refer the following Document

1) I didn't mention this the first time, but yes, I did verify that the clients are the same.

2) I updated the hosts and lmhosts files.

3) Nothing is using port 10000

4) Done.

Unfortunately, the same issue still persists. BE does not see that my server has SPS 2001 on it (and I cannot create a backup for SPS 2001)... I should note that I can run a backup of the server's C and D drives, but to set up a backup just for the SPS instance is not doable. I try adding it to the Sharepoint Server Farms selection only to see an error stating "None of the web services from the specified server farm could be accessed"
