Changing BKExec Account 1

[Adders56]

Originally Backup Exec (9.1) was installed & configured to run under the admin account on our Win2k3 DC, also running Exchange 2k3 & with the Exchange Agent.
I have created a unique account for the services to run as, and set the appropriate permissions, etc. When running a full backup job (all files, SQL & brick level Exchange) it copies & verifies all sections fine - but still errors with an error of:

Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xa000848c - Unable to attach to one of the drives.
Final error category: Resource Errors

In the Errors section:

Click an error below to locate it in the job log
Backup - \\SERVER01
Unable to attach to SERVER01\BKUPEXEC.
Unable to attach to SERVER01\BKUPEXEC.


You click it... and it takes you to a location in between

Set Information - \\SERVER01\Microsoft Exchange Public Folders

and

Set Information - \\SERVER01\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group

where it just simply displays:

Unable to attach to SERVER01\BKUPEXEC.
Unable to attach to SERVER01\BKUPEXEC.

The error code listed above is a generic one, and doesnt really point to any useful information....

Has anyone come across this before?

I thought I had set the credentials correctly....

Just unselect the SERVER01\BKUPEXEC in the selection list.

This is the backup exec SQL database - it doesn't need to be backed up - BE does it automatically every night - defautl is 4am - the backup of it is located by default in C:\program files\veritas\backup exec\nt\data\bedb.bak.
