Hi,

I'm having some trouble using Veritas. I have a simple weekly cycle going but recently I've had to do a few restarts on the machine to run some updates and it has come aparent that each time i restart the machine all the Verias services stop. why could this be?

does anyone know if im missing some sort of script that restarts them?

Cheers guys

First step would be to check the event logs. I assume you mean Backup Exec. Have you installed the latest BE patches?

Check the credentials are correct.

If they don't start it's normally down to this.

Yes the credentials are all fine. Its on a WindowsXP machine not 2003 but i have auto login enabled (as some of the software is not available as a service), now i know that backup exec is run as a service, but would the auto login be causing the problem?

No i dont have any patches installed. have got round to doing that.

also I would like to make it so when i put in the next tape it doesnt confirm whether i can overwrite the tape all the time, just want it to get on with the jobs and eject the tape! how do i go about that? i've had a quick poke around but I dont want to mess about too much.

You could create a startBackExec.cmd file containing similar to below

net start "microsoft exchange information store"
net start "microsoft exchange management"
net start "microsoft exchange MTA Stacks"
net start "microsoft exchange Routing Engine"
net start "microsoft exchange System Attendant"

This is my cmd file to make sure exchange services run after a reboot. Just replace the names of the exchange services with the names of the backexec services that need to run.

Place the file in the startup directory.
