97590 2002-11-10 20:31:00 Hi F1
I am wondering if anyone has had a similar problem?
I have 4 sites with Veritas Backup exec 8.6, Windows 2000 server SP2 and HP Netservers, HP tape drives with seperate SCSI controllers that have had the following problem.
Occasionally (once per week - different days) the job comes up as cancelled because the hardware is off line.
I have looked in the Veritas support site, but the problem does not seem to be related to tapes or cables or SCSI controllers.
To resolve the problems, I recreate the job and this seems to work.
I am guessing that it is something to do with exchange backup, because a backup without exchange often works, if the problem has become persistent ie daily problem.
I look forward to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems.

97591 2002-11-10 22:09:00 Do you have an exchange agent (www.veritas.com) installed and the correct amount of remote agents on each machine? Problems seem to generally get caused by missing licenses. honeylaser (814)
97592 2002-11-11 18:19:00 Yes they all have exchange agents (Help about - check license code against invoice).
I find it hard to believe that my support company is the only one experiencing this problem in New Zealand.

You could always try them (I used to be the Veritas product manager for DS)... but depending on when you got the product they may not give you support. Try speaking to Phil if you call them, he should be able to help you. :D
