The network connection to the Backup Exec Remote Agent has been lost
I have a windows 2000 server with Backup Exec ver 9.1 rev 4691 and I've had quite a bit of problems trying to get a successful backup from it.
Here is what is in the log file
~~~~~~~~

Backup Type: FULL - Back Up Files - Reset Archive Bit
Backup started on 11/21/2006 at 11:08:48 PM.
The media operation was terminated by the user.
Error reading file data.

The network connection to the Backup Exec Remote Agent has been lost. Please check for network errors.

I am not backing up anything remotely so I don't know what is going on here
Any ideas?
Thanks

I had the same problem with Backup Exec 10d. I applied the latest patches from Symantec (SP3) and then reinstalled Remote Agents on all servers. The problem was solved. However, I had this problem when some GPS software was using TCP port 10000 on the remote machine and there was a conflict with Backup Exec Remote Agent. Try to check this port with utility TCPView from Sysinternals.
mcp_jon did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue with a Windows 2003 domain controller. Always seems to die when it's doing the D:. This is a virtual machine running in VMWare ESX so it's not like it's a bad hard drive or NIC or anything. It was backing up fine until 8/5 and then every full and differential backup since then is failing with this network connection error. I have no other issues with this server, it's on the network fine and I didn't change anything to cause this to start.
Best Regards
