Two BENT questions.
Hello.
Currently I have BENT backing up 3 servers: a PDC, BDC, and a File Server.
Last week I demoted the PDC to a BDC (changing it's name in the process)
and put up a new PDC (giving it the same name as the previos PDC). The previous
PDC had a C and D drive, but the current one only has a C drive. However,
BENT still tries to back up the D drive because the new PDC has the same
name as the old one did. I can't unselect this drive in the 'selections'
tab because it's not there anymore. Is there any way to tell BENT to stop
trying to back up the D drive without recreating the job definition?
Also, I only have a license for 3 remote server agents, but last week I was
able to back up 4 remote servers in one job. I just tried it out of curiousity,
and it worked. Does anyone know why?
Thanks!

Re: Two BENT questions.
Try clicking on "text" from the selections box. I have run into problems like
this with all versions of BENT. The Graphic screen shows a server is not
selected but if I check the Text screen there is a path statement..
Worth a try.

Re: Two BENT questions.
On the Selections tab, click on Text version, highlight the D drive line and
click Delete.
As long as you have the remote agent installed on your backup exec server
you can backup as many remote servers as you want. There's no way to enforce
it, but you should be licensed for the amount of remote servers you are backing
up.
