Arcseve 2000 error e8601 cannot connect to dbagent dbagent does not ex

[bean1]

I am trying to restore a SQL 2000 database. I am running Arcserve 2000 sp3 and the AS2000 backup agent for MS SQL 2000. When I attempt to do the restore I get the following error. E8601 cannot connect to agent ec=agent does not exsit. I ahve verified the the serice is running on the SQL server. I can backup all of the databases on the SQL server, so I sure the agent is working. Does anyone have ant ideas?

That error usually means that you selected an invalid destination. Restores can be done one of two ways:

1. Restore to original location. Don't change anything on the Destination screen.
2. Restore to an alternate location. Uncheck the checkbox in the Destination screen, browse for the machine you want to use for the restore and select the SQL agent.

Selecting anything other than the SQL agent will cause the restore to fail with the error you listed.

I have tried your suggestions. I now get an E8603 error failed to write to database. I must change the name of the database. I used the agent options to do this and the the destenation I went throught the network found the SQL server and chose the agent and clicked on the SQL icon and added the new name of the database. The restore starts finds the session shows the database with the new name and then faills with the E8603 error with any other ec. I have tried this with the sa account as well as the SQL agent id and password.
