The SQL server (v7.0 by the way, sorry for not mentioning before)
is configured for namedpipes and is using it as default protocol.
And the error message appears in backupexec not in SQL.

So, manny thanks for the tip, but, I'm still looking for clues to solve my

Ps. Where do you search for those technotes, couldn't find that och with
the searchengine och veritas.com ?
