I have Backup Exec 11d installed on a Windows 2003 R2 Standard server. When I first started using Backup Exec, there were no issues with viewing the Job Logs under the Job History section of the Job Monitoring tab. However, now, I can't view the Job Logs at all.
When I go to the Job Monitoring tab, the Job History section says "Loading..." for a few minutes. And then eventually a popup appears saying:
The query for the job history records has taken longer than allowed. Use or create a job history custom filter to reduce the number of jobs displayed.
This happens regardless of what filter I use for viewing the Job Logs.
If I go to the location of where the Job Logs are supposed to be stored (D:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\NT\Data), I can see the .htm and .xml files. So the Job Logs are being created, it's just that Backup Exec can't seem to display them.
I believe it's due to two particularly large files in that directory:
BEDB.bak is 1.08Gigs
bedb_dat.mdf is 1.24Gigs
What are these files? How do I reduce their size? Is this even the cause of the problem?
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
