Two BEDB databases on one SQL server

[Marlon_Meader]

Hi Everyone,

We're running two seperate installations of Backup Exec 10.0, each one on its own server with its own backup tape device. I would like to know if it is possible to store each servers' BEDB database on our one main SQL server (not one of the backup servers). I'd like to do this for redundancy purposes, as well as to bypass the 2GB MSDE limit. Our SQL server is running Windows 2000 Server SP4 and SQL 2000 with SP4. The one Backup Exec database is currently on the SQL server, but I can't seem to move the second one across. When I try to do it using the BEUTILITY, I receive the following error:

"New Backup Exec Database Location
ERROR: Destination database server does not have SQL service installed.
Operation to change location of Backup Exec database to SQL Server instance SRV007 ended with errors."

Has anyone done this and if so, can you please give me some instructions?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Marlon.
