Solution
Solution 1:
NOTE: It is always important to obtain a backup copy before making changes to the Backup Exec database. Stop the "SQL SERVER (BKUPEXEC)" service, copy X:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data to a separate location prior to completing the steps below. Restart the SQL SERVER (BKUPEXEC)" service and all dependencies
(1) Run a Database Consistency Check using BEUtility to check if the BEDB database or the BE_DLO database is failing with database consistency errors. Please refer the following document for more information::
NOTE: It is not recommended to recover the database from base without opening a support case with Symantec to determine if this is the best course of action, because this will put a blank database in place. If the consistency check, repair, or backup (dump) of the database continues to fail with the same error, download/install the SQL Management Studio.Express Tools, and attempt to run backup with this Native SQL Backup Utility.
If the backups or other SQL Maintenance operations still fail with the SQL Native Backup Utility, check the Windows Application Event Viewer Logs for SQL errors and warnings that may help further diagnose the failure.
