Connection with server failed. Hit <F5> to retry. - Backup Exec

[FN-GM]

I have installed Backup Exec 12 on Server 2008. When i try to make the selections to backup i get this "message Connection with server failed. Hit to retry."

 

Other forums suggest the problem could be that the service account is a member of Remote Operators or Power Users but it isn't.

 

Can anyone help please?

 

Thanks

Did you manage to resolve this issue ?

 

I am having exactly the same problem and i am stumped ?

[FN-GM]

nope unfortunately not.

Thanks for the prompt response but i tried something simple and it seemed to work.

 

I logged on to the machine that had Backup Exec installed using the actual service account itself.

 

Opened up Backup Exec and there you go able to create a selection list.

 

Running a backup as we speak ....
