SQL Credential Failure

Hello,

1  : Try adding the SQL SA account in Backup Exec.
2  : Change the Credentials of SQL Server to the SA account in Backup job properties.

Make sure that this domain

Make sure that this domain user you have created in active directory, is a member of local administrators group on the SQL server. If you are using an internal SQL server account, and not domain account, then you should specify that account on on SQL Agent selection and not on the server.

Thanks
