Backup Buffer Size is Invalid

[jbeaty]

When backing up a SQL server on my network, ArcServe is giving me and error msg that says "Configured value of Backup Buffer Size is Invalik.Please check SQL server."This has been haunting me for three weeks now.I have no idea where to change this value.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

ARCserve 6.5
NT Server 4.0
SP 6.0a

Hi, have you applied the service pack to the SQL agent ?
What version of SQL 6.5 or 7 if its 7 then you will need to upgrade Arcserve to 6.61 or 2000. Also is it an SQL cluster, all these factors are quite important. You must have build 622 if its 6.5.
Good luck [sig][/sig]

Hi there

I think you have installed MS SQL v7.0. I ve got the same error after trying to back up SQL 7.0 with ARCserveIT 6.61 without SP1. After applying SP1 and selecting the update of the SQL Agent, everything works just fine.

Try to upgrade for free to ARCserve 6.61 (free of charge Universal Upgrade CD-ROM) and apply SP2a (adds SQL Server 7.0 support - CD-ROM of ARCserve v6.61 supports only SQL 6.5). Good Luck.
