Hello, I am having trouble with Backup Exec 11 d and I am wondering if the
problem is on my domain controllers instead of with Backup Exec. Here's
what's happening: The Backup Exec 11d "restore job properties" window is
displaying multiple copies of the same SS backup for domain controllers. For
example, I made one system state backup of a domain controller at 11:02 on
4/17/08. When I view the "restore job properties" window, I see three copies
listed, for the same backup at the same time. If I select any one of them,
all three copies become selected.
Could the problem be caused by an issue on the domain controllers, rather
than a problem with Backup exec? Note that this only happens with domain
controllers; other system state backups are OK and all other file system
backups are OK.
I ran Live update to ensure that the backup exec product is completely up
to date.I have also updated SQL Express SP 2 on the backup server, dropped
the Backup Exec database and reloaded from base, and renamed the catalog
folder,forcing it to create new catalogs. The last step of creating new
catalogs fixed the problem for a few days, but then it came back.
I tried reinstalling SP2 on one of the domain controllers, but that did not
fix it.
I have tried with and without the "use advanced Open file option" box
checked on the backup jobs and it make no difference. Could the problem have
something to do with the vss "writers" on the domain controllers?
Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
