Backup of Arcserve v9 db problem with security

[JemimaS]

I have included the ArcServe VLDB in the backup, and I get this error in the logs:
E4116 Unable to begin database backup ec= no access rights to database.

I have a domain user set up exactly as in the technical docs, with all the permissions and a local user the same on the machine.

One peculiarity - when I go into Central DB configuration, and choose Change Security, I cannot change the username & password from caroot - it fails to authenicate any other user. Is this connected?

NT4 server, Arcserve v9

HI,

Checkif the ARCserve folder is shared as ARCServe$ and check if the account you are using has full control over it.


cheers

Yes - is shared as ARCserve$ with full control.

I'm having this same problem with my Windows XP box on an NT4 domain using v9. I'm stumpted! Any luck with this?

Check the NTFS permissions of the ARCserve installation folder (both folder and files).

H.

 

[jweber93]

NTFS file permissions are OK and are propagated down. Share permissions are to spec as well. Hmmmmmm....

I've even changed file/share permissions to Everyone "Full Control" without any help. The 9.01 patch didn't help at all either.

Turned out to be a corrupt database.
