Hi
I am getting similar problems ,the bengine crashes intermitently during backups.
We implemented the Backupexec 11D system 3 months ago and the problem has been there since day 1.
The longest it worked was for 29 days (19/06/2007 to 20/06/2007) without any bengine issues.
To date the longest the system runs without a bengine crash is a week at the most.
After the bengine has crashed I need to power down servers and all the devices otherwise the bengine crashes on a daily basis.
Intially the system consisted of 3 servers , 1 caso and 2 MMS servers.
The MMS servers were both attached to the Dell Powervault ML6020 (4 X LTO3 Dirves) Fibre Channel device.
Each server had a QLA2340 Fibre channel HBA card which connected the servers to the ML6020 via an EMC Brokade SilkWorm 200E.
The error in the event logs used to give the following error:
The Backupexec service bengine stops during backups (intermitent) ,
event log error "Faulting application bengine.exe 11.0.7170.0, faulting module bengine.exe,version 11.0.7170.0,fault address 0x00140ba6.
I logged an case with Symantec about 3 weeks ago and I have made many changes to the configuration as adviced by a Symantec engineer but nothing has solved the bengine crashes.
The system now only consists of a standalone server with a QLA2340 HBA card directly connected to the DELL Powervault ML6020 via the EMC Brokade SilkWorm 200E switch.
When the bengine carashes I get an error in the system event log there is an event saying that the Backupexec engine terminated unexpectedly - event id 7031.
I also get the alert in Backupexec saying that that the drive is offlline.
There must be more people out there experiencing bengine issues.
This seems to be a general problem with Backupexec 11D.
Hope we get this problem solved some day ,I am considering using software from a different vendor.
Paul
