error 1065: the database specified does not exist

[Chris_Charles]

I am using Backupexec 9.1
windows 2003 standard, sp1

I am in the process of restoring a server from backup but I have run into a problem I rebuilt the server (on new hardware) with windows 2003 sp1 Installed Backupexec 9.1 (same as original version) Restored the system state and C:
Restarted and it looks good (after detecting new hardware etc) However backup exec device and media service won’t start The error I get is error 1065: the database specified does not exist As a result a bunch of other backupexec services won’t start, (and I cant restore the “DATA” stored on a second partition)
Note MSSQL$BKUPEXEC service is started and I can connect to it using osql I checked and re-entered the server logon details without success.

how can i get backupexec working again?
