Hi Sven,
I like your line "This software is really crap!" I am a victim of this "crap" myself. What do you personally use to backup your boxes, it would be great to know since I am looking for an alternative.

Hi

Try to create an account with UID 0 and try if Backup Exec accept
this. Report back if it works. You may also ask this question at the
Symantec forums
http://www.symantec.com/connect/backup-and-archiving/forums/backup-exec.
This software is really crap!

cheers Sven
