BackupExec 9.1 Services to stop when changing Backup-To-Disk Folders

Backup Version  9.1 Rev 4691

We found in changing out drives (say for 5 drives for M-F) that the backup program would often just start a job, then show it queued.  A certain sequence of events needed to take place

Keep BackupExec closed on the server console and in any remotes sessions.  Just fire it up when needed and then exit the program

Here is a batch file to cycle the services needed for this Media change out

• REM Stop services
  net stop backupexecjobengine
  net stop backupexecRPCService
  net stop backupexecdevicemediaservice
  
  
  REM Start services
  net start backupexecdevicemediaservice
  net start backupexecRPCService
  net start backupexecjobengine

We found the following order worked fine, with times shown

In the morning, switch out the drive (8-9:45 am)

Cycle the Services (10 am)

Run an Inventory job of the drive (11 am)

Finally, run the desired Backup Job (9 pm)

Syslog server

The Kiwiw syslog server has been changed to merely a trial.

Here is a site with version 8.3.52, which was the last freeware version

This discussion seems to imply that a client (browser) would also need OpenSSL but there are exceptions as well

This site has a test also but is too busy currently (during day 0-2, not 4/16 it is useable and provides a good amount of information

Apple had some sites reported as vulnerable
