BE2012, BE15, BE21: Catalogization of imported bkf files failed - Encryption key cannot be retrieved
Dearest Veritas Community, I feel really sorry to bother you at Easter. When I tried to catalog an imported BE2012 backup on a new server, a message "Encryption key (code) cannot be retrieved". Checked passphrase and created new key (same passphrase, 256, Fips 140-2 not activated, common access). Also tried on different OS Windows 2008R2, Windows 2019 with combinations of Backup Exec: BE 2012, BE15 FP5, BE21. Same (old) Domainname. Same error. Workaround according https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100017836 failed. Your help will be very appreciated. Kindest regards Daniel
Restore .bkf files
I have Backup Exec 12 on a server backing up a SQL Database to disk, I wanted to do some testing and wanted to restore a database on to a standalone laptop. The laptop was set up with Windows Server 2012, and as Backup Exec 12 isn't compatible with Server 2012 I installed Backup Exec 15. I created a B2D folder in Backup Exec and then copied over the .bkf files from the current server to the B2D on the test laptop. I did an Inventory and Catalog on the B2D which only showed me the backupset names, nothing within it. So I decided to copy the catalogs folder from the server (C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Catalogs) to the same folder on the laptop. After running a catalog job again I was able to see the backupsets and the databases backed up within it. However, when I try to run a restore by right clicking on the backup set I get nothing in the Restore Wizard window. I have tried changing the date range but still no luck. Could someone point me in the right direction? How do I restore these database files, even if it is to a .bak file rather than restore straight to SQL? What's got me more worried is that all the backups I am doing might be useless, if the server ever went down I would not have access to the Catalogs folder which would render the B2D folder with all the .bkf files useless. Am I right in saying this?
Request information full backup
Hello everybody! I need to know about jobs. I have a costumer wich use Backup Exec 2012 (v14 rev1794), and i have differents issues with the incremental job, like -528 file log missing, timestamp mismatch and so on. The full backup completes successfully. So, is necessary to keep trying to solve the incremental job? Thanks!

So….vmWorld 2012 in beautiful San Francisco. This is the event where vendors of various shapes and sizes put together their best combination of sizzle and steak.
