I have received a backup tape from a subsidiary office that was made using BE 11d that contains several SQL databases. I need to restore these databases to one of my servers in my local office, but every attempt with Backup Exec 11d on my server has failed. I have even upgraded to Version 12.5 and I have added the SQL agent as well, but each time I try to restore these SQL databases to my local server, I get the following error message.

'Unable to attach to a resource.  Make sure that all selected resources exist and are online, and then try again.  If the server or resource no longer exists, remove it from the selection list. Edit the selection list properties, click the View Selection Details tab, and then remove the resource.'

Here's what I have done:

1. I have selected the databases in the Selections properties under Source.
2. Under Resource Credentials, I cleared the 'System Logon' account from the Domain Name of the resource.
3. Under Microsoft SQL Redirection, I clicked 'Redirect Microsoft SQL Server Sets and entered the target SQL Server database name and instance name.
4. Under Destination Options on this same page, I clicked 'Use destination instance's default data directory.'
5. Under Server/Database Credentials, I entered the 'sa' login and password for the target database server.
6. Under 'General' in Settings, I selected the following: 'Overwrite Existing Files' and 'Restore All Information Except Security for Files and Directories.'
7. I left the defaults under 'Microsoft SQL' in Settings.

Is there a trick to getting Backup Exec to restore a SQL database from a foreign backup to a different server on a different domain? I am in urgent need of help in getting these SQL databases restored to my local server.

Thanks very much!
