When I try to use any of the database tools in the BEUtility I get something like this
Starting database recovery.
Stopping Services
Stopping services for server:MYSERVER.
Server:MYSERVER, Service:BackupExecJobEngine stopped successfully or was not running.
Server:MYSERVER, Service:BackupExecRPCService stopped successfully or was not running.

Stopping services for server MYSERVER completed.
Performing database recovery for BEDB database.
Error: The database linkage is bad.
Database recovery for server MYSERVER ended with errors.
I found in the BE KB articles more information on repairing the installation/database. I resolved myself to completely recreating each job, etc and went to repair the installation using the 10.0 install CD. It got through quite a bit of the install before rolling back.
Here's what I found in the job log:
05-08-2006,08:48:28 : Executing Attach_BEDB.
05-08-2006,08:48:28 : Could not start the SQL server MAIN1\BKUPEXEC with service name of MSSQL$BKUPEXEC
05-08-2006,08:48:28 : Unable to connect to SQL Server.
05-08-2006,08:48:28 : Action ended 8:48:28: InstallFinalize. Return value 2.
05-08-2006,08:48:28 : Action 8:48:28: Rollback. Rolling back action:
Do I need to do just a complete uninstall and reinstall everything or is there a better/quicker/more effective way to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance....
