backup exec 12.5

[AndyComputers]

I have the program installed and setup with time and dates to run, but the services keep stopping by themselves. If im on the server 2 or 3 hours prior to the scheduled backup, it will run and complete successfully. If the server is left at idle all day, it will not run, and the following morning I have to restart all services in the back up exec program. This is somthing simple im sure, I'm just missing it.


Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

Other notes

Hi Andy,

Which version of Server 2008 is this?
Is Backup Exec 12.5 fully patched, and are you getting any specific errors in your jobs/Event Viewer?

Thanks!

Please uninstall and re-install .NET Framework.
In most cases this fixes problems with stopping services.

best regards!

Hi,
 Thank you for your reply. It's windows server 2008 standard, with sp1. No errors since the patches were installed. The services just stop running if at idle for a long period of time.

Thank you for your reply.

I will try this today, and post the results on monday. Once again thanks!

I'm using Backup exec 12.5 for small business server.  Do i need a separate license to back the exchange components of small business server 2003 or is there an alternative way to backup of the information store without purchasing a separate license?

[DominikG]

As far as I know, the exchange agent is already included in the SBS edition.
Any problems backing it up?

best regards
