symantec backup exec 2010 R2 / system state / shadow copy components
Hey guys,
Symantec Backup Exec 2010 R2 trying to back up the following:
1) Server 2008 32-bit
2) Server 2008 64-bit
When it starts backing up system state or shadow copy components from either server, the backup stops running, the byte count decreases to like 800mb/min and never increases/decreases more than that. The backup job never completes. Why could possibly be wrong here? Never seen this before.

Drivers are the Symantec drives, tapes are brand new :(
ASKER
This is a brand new install, brand new tape drive, brand new tapes :P
Are you getting any information from the logs on this? Uusally you will get something from there to work on.
Have you checked that te service account has sufficient permissions? Try using the domain admin account to find out if it solves the problem, then keep adding permissions on the service account until it works.

When you install Symantec , there is an option for symantec drivers make sure the tick is off , and let windows detect and install the drivers , i had the same issue and then found out it was through the symantec installation ... I had it on a robotic library , the same issue , once i redid it it was fine , also with teh error try doing an update .. .

Well it successfully backs up like 150GB+ until it reaches the system state or shadow copy components. The job never fails, obviously, so there aren't any logs I can check. I have to force it to stop. Every time I check what file it has stopped on it's either the show copy components or the system state.
If I check the log after i am forced to stop/restart the services, I get this:

This looks more and more like a permissions issue to me. BE is waiting to backup the system state but cannot because it does not have the rights. As a result the only answer is to stop the backup.

Assign domain admin rights to the user account doing the backup or use a Enterprise admin account ...
ASKER
I'm using the domain\administrator account. The domain\administrator account has the following permissions groups:
administrators
domain admins
domain users
enterprise admins
group policy creator owners
organization management
schema admins
smsmse admins
users
Is it missing anything?
