Paste the errors which you get recorded in event viewer when manually trying to start dedupe manager A.K.A spad fails. If possible also check dedupefolder\log\spad\spad.log for clues.

Was it working earlier ? Did anything change post which the spad isn’t running ? Is PostgreSQL service running ?

cant see it in the application event logs that you shared. Check the dedupe folder\log\spad\spad.log

The spad.log don't show about Backup Exec Deduplication Managec Deduplication Manager service.

Download procmon tool from Microsoft and start it, then start the spad service. When the error is seen, stop capturing in procmon. Save the file ( all events ) in PML format. Make sure to launch procmon, start service and stop capturing quickly else the procmon log file size increases. See if you can zip and attach the procmon log here else I am not sure what this could be. I am hoping you did reboot the server as well to check if it helped.


Thank you so much for your help.

I don't have permision to install/run another application right now.

I focus on the question that Why "Backup Exec Deduplication Manager service" is not running ?

I have to summay this problem to reporting. But, I cannot summarize this root case.

This is just a package which runs on the fly. If there isn’t an error in event viewer or spad log then a different approach is needed.

Thank so much for your suggestion

Could you please let me know that What are the factors that make this service is not running ?
