Backing up SQL Databases with Agent 1

[mahanes]

Can you backup a server running a SQL database with the SQL agent and then have it run through the NT/2000 Client agent?
I thought i read somewhere that you had to use the network
select option if you were running a database agent on the remote box. Thanks in advance

Keep in mind that that the NT/2000 agent and the SQL database agent are two completely different options that can be used separately. The NT/2000 agent takes care of the operating system NT or 2000 with capabilities of backing up Windows specific features as the Registry, the System State and the Active Directory. The SQL agent acts as a go-between between ARCserve and SQL and uses SQL's own dump database functionality to backup and restore single databases/transaction logs while SQL is up and running.
It is just the way you browse the agent in ARCserve's source view thats shows SQL and it's databases from the NT/2000 agent ( if installed )view or from the network.

Hope I'm clear

I'm running Arcserve 2000 on a W2k server. I have SQL agent and Client agent installed on my SQL2000 server. I had just the SQL agent installed but everyday my backup job was still running which I then had to cancel. After installing the Client Agent the backup jobs on the databases completed successflly but I do get errors in the logs " AW0000 skip invalid shares or volume DABSQL@MSSQLServer Arcserve for Windows 2000 - Backup. I have not fixed this problem yet but at least the most important thing is that the SQL databases are backing up.

thanks Happiness is a daily decision

After upgrading to SQL 2000 I am now getting this message too:

AW0000 skip invalid shares or volume DABSQL@MSSQLServer Arcserve for Windows 2000 - Backup

Can you explain what it really means so I can attempt to correct it?

Thanks,
