BABv11 SQL agent backup multiplexing

[lzcwsq]

Windows 2003 server running BABv11 (brightstor Arcserve backup), using a MSL6060 drive 60 slot 4 SDLT drives. 4 jobs backing up 53 servers, via multiplexing.

all jobs running ok backing up the databases and flat files. changed the jobs around and suddenly stopped backing up 1 servers SQL v5 database, even when the job was returned to original setup via an ASX file, still continued to fail. When viewing the database via backup window can see down to table level on SQL agent.

No other changes were made to the server, or SQL or the domain admin password used to access the SQL database. SQL database is taken down 1 hour maintenance prior to backup and 30 mins allowed for sql to restart after. BABv11 SQL DBagent configuration not changed and log on check works and shows an event in SQL as being logged on

Anyone any advice or seen this kind of failure before

SQL v5 ???? even SQL v6.5 isn't supported by r11.0

vschumpy thanks , looks like thats the answer, (PS mistype should have been SQL6.5), only thing that confused me is we WERE having successful backups, but knowing arcserve could have been a fluke.
