VERITAS - Backup Exec 8.5

Hi Experts,

When I seek the path from the backup machine to the webserver's inetpub directory the selection box is greyed out,
and when I click on the webserver it shows 'None.' in the selection window. Remote agent is installed and running on
the webserver. I can network over and see the machine in our network and vice versa.

I can see plenty of other machines on our network that I dont need to backup ?.... Maybe a permissions issue on the webserver ?...

Thanks,

Chuck.

p.s. Called veritas and they dont offer support anymore for ver 8.5 !

Thanks to both,

I gave full permissions to the backup machine but still grey boxes....
The server is in the same IT closet and same network as the backup machine.
I also gave full permissions in INETPUB but also still nothing....
I am able to see/browse every machine on the network except the servers, (and they all have
win 2k adv server loaded) so I tried installing advanced server on the backup machine and
for whatever reason (really not sure) I can see all machines, and all servers and was able to backup.

I didn't do anything different on this install just ran backup exec on W2K adv server, instead of W2K Pro.

I wish I could pinpoint why it worked, but am glad it did. Thanks again for the info, and I suppose splitting the
points would be the fair thing to do.... hope this is ok with you both ..... Thanks again, and have a good weekend !
