Backup exec works intermitently. Sometimes it will backup automatically but lately I have had to stop and start services (Even though the system shows they are started)before it will allow me to do a manual backup. The only thing I can think to do is to reinstall. Any suggestions?
Thanks. God bless.

Have you checked the event logs for clues what is happening with the scheduled backup?

Are your tapes relatively new and write enabled? Have you tried Ntbackup on the same drive and media?

Check each service and make sure they all have the same Log On profile. It sounds like there is disagree among the services. If you have them set to the administrator, have you changed the administrator password recently. If you have you need to reset it on the services Log On profile.

If a target device or backup-to-disk folder goes offline while Backup Exec services are running, You might have to restart the services before the backup will run. We have to do this whenever we change USB hard drives (they are on a server remote to the one being backed up).
