Hi there

Having a slight problem with a backup job. It has only just started happening. In the Job Log the only error that can be found is the one below:


======================================================================
Job server: RUSRV01
Job name: Full Daily Backup
Job started: 20 June 2005 at 23:00:09
Job type: Backup
Job Log: BEX85.txt
======================================================================

Drive and media information from media mount:
Robotic Library Name:
Drive Name: COMPAQ 1
Slot: 0
Media GUID: {A4153C82-0D00-483C-ACF6-A3C038E7966C}
Media Label: 4MM000001

Append Time Left: Infinite
Targeted Media Set Name: Media Set 1

======================================================================

Media operation - overwrite.
Hardware compression enabled.
======================================================================
An error occurred creating a WMI Repository interface.

The WMI Repository could not be backed up.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^


Could not find anything about this so wonder what its on about. The job doesnt have OFO and is on a w2k server. Any ideas would be great

Thank you

What did you re-install? OS or BackUpExec?

I had the same problem, and discovered Veritas tech support document 197660, which details a procedure to fix it. Basically, you use your Windows 2000 server installation CD to install a WMI ODBC driver. Well, this appeared to take care of the problem immediately, but since then I have had the error sporadically reappear. It would be good to get a final answer on this.
