Symantec Backup Exec, services keep stopping

I recently noticed that services had stopped on Backup Exec, meaning that backups weren't being run. I can use BEXEC to manually restart the services, which works fine but obviously this isn't ideal! I waiting for it to happen again to see if it logs anything, but there is already one entry (but BEXEC is still working, at present):

An error occurred while attempting to log in to the following server: "JMR0002".
SQL error number: "0011".
SQL error message: "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

This seems tho have happened since last weeks mega 'Super Tuesday', and there is still one update which wont install: Secirty update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 (KB970892). When I use Win update to install it, my Backup Exec fails (SQL gets stopped for the update procedure?) with the error: Communications are down with the Backup Exec Services (I would expect this a service is interrupted during install). Check to see if Backup Exec Services are running on MYSERVER. Then I get a message from Winupdate saying installation failed. This error (above) is the same thing that happens overnight.

Any ideas as to why my services are being stopped?
