I'm a newbie with all of this and I'm hoping that one or two of you
have a bit more experience than me and can point me in the right
direction. Here goes:
I have a backup exec server running 10d. I also have a stand alone
Sharepoint 2001 server. An agent currently runs which dumps the
contents of the sharepoint database to a backup file for a full backup.
However no backups are currently running on the individual workspaces.
On my backup server, I recently added the license key for the
Sharepoint Portal Server Agent that integrates with backup exec.
I want to create a backup job for my sharepoint server that will
specifically target the sharepoint installation. This is where my
knowledge of backup exec/sharepoint runs dry. I assume, that like
everything else, I can drill down in the selections list and simply
check the sharepoint installation. I try this, but Sharepoint is not
visible when I drill down to the Portal Server. I've also noticed that
there's a "Microsoft Sharepoint Server Farms" option under remote
selections as well. There is nothing in it. I right click on it and
select the "add server farm" option. I type in my web server name, but
it won't take it. From the remote server, I've turned on advertizing
and specified my backup server. This too has been unsuccessful.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I've looked all over for something
that tells me how to configure the SPS agent, but there is nothing
intuitive in backup exec to do this. All the internet docs that I've
searched are either vague or just kind of assume that the basic setup
is good to go. Either something is wrong, or I need to do some more
configuring to get this to work. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which one
is which.
Can someone help me? Does anyone have some step by step instructions
to configure this, or is there actually a problem here that I need to
troubleshoot. If so, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
