In this special case, it might even be that you have to downgrade the firmware due to ARCserve 6.0 ... Not always is the newest firmware the best ;-)

Jepp, I saw the other thread. I am with you with the virus idea ... Strange though that it happened exactly after running the database tools. After I did the disaster recovery, I moved the database to another SQL-server. Seems saver to me. Thanks, Conny

To get rid of that error, I uninstalled ARCserve (with reboots and deleting of leftover files and registry entries) and then reinstalled it. Unfortunately, at the end of the installation, when it comes to starting the services, I received the same error message. I have been thinking about a...

I am already thinking of changing the software ... We are using the RAID option, because we need to sets of tapes ... that makes it not so easy to switch ... Not everyone has it ... Conny PS: For ARCserve 7.0 there is an patch from CA for your problem :-) Did you see that?

Well, then as a last resort, you might want to try to do a backup by media and bring back the entire tape ... Otherwise I am sorry ... I have no more ideas ... (By the way, I sit here and do disaster recovery of my backup server, too ...). Still, good luck and a wonderful weekend, whenever it...

Forgot, you said you were on version 6 ... I would still give it a try, you can always remove the key if it does not work. It does nothing than bypass the catalog file and instead read the data from the tape. Put it below task ... Conny

Try to do the merge again after you change the following registry entry (this will do the merge without using the catalog file): add "HKLM\software\computerassociates\Brightstore ARCserve Backup\Base\Task\Merge" below that add "DonotUseCatalogMerge" REG_DWORD 1 Hope this...

I've got the same problem ... did you solve it??? Thanks for feedback, Conny

Hm ... strange ... Have you retried to restore the entire session? Maybe you should merge it again ...

Hi, I ran dbcheck, dchain and keybuild on asjob, asmedia and asobject ... just like you said. Now the ARCserve services are not coming up anymore. Whatever service I want to start I get the error: "Error 193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application." Any idea? Conny

Can you browse the 3rd session? I mean, can you see the data that was backup up in it?

I usually only run dbcheck and dbfix on a weekly basis .. In wich order would you suggest to run the tools? dbcheck -> dbfix -> dbdefrag -> dchain -> keybuild? And two more questions: does the "-p"-switch speed it up a little? What about the purge? I only have it set to purge records...

Unfortunately by now I reinstalled ARCserve since it stopped working last Friday. The jobs did not continue when they should have changed media. When manually inserting the next media, the tape debug showed "invalid job handle passed in !". I then reinitialized all database (to get...

Hm .. I have never seen that one. If you know what the library setup is like, I would now go for reinstalling the entire library config. Unistall the tape library option via add/remove programs, delete (or better export and then delete, thus you are able go back to where you are now) the...

No, not inside ARCserve Manager, start it from Start Menu; usually when you start it, it stops the tape engine anyway (at least it did when I configured my library). Then you will have to go through the library setup again. Conny
