Hi guys,

I have just finished building myself a SQL cluster, everything is working perfectly except that the backup job (Backup Exec 8.6)is not backing up the DB's. i can select the DB's to backup through BE but when the job runs it just says it cant attach. I've checked the account being used etc to no avail. I think it might be a logon problem though because i also noticed that the SQL Service Manager is by default trying to attach to node\sql1 rather than the cluster\sql1. I can manually change it and cluster\sql1 is an available choice but after a reboot it keeps going back to looking at the local node. Hopefully someone out there knows what this is all about, any help would be fantasic as i am at my wits end! Thanks.
 
solved! it is due to the SQL instance name being more than 15 characters! A flaw in BE 8.6 build 3808, need the update to 3878 the only was to fix it.
