Question : Problem: How do you change SQL pointer for BAckup Exec

Hey experts,

Im installing a new SBS2003 server w/ Backup Exec 11d.  I orginally configured backup exec before I brought the server onsite to install.  When I attempted to install, I realized that my servername name had the same servername as another appliance on the network, and I was forced to rename the server.

Backup Exec is still looking for the SQL on the "oldservername"  Obviously, the "oldservenamer" does not exist anymore.

I cannot uninstall the product, says I have to dismount it from the SQL on server "oldservername", and I cannot for the life of me figure out how I can either unistall/reinstall or point the current version of Backup Exec to correct new "servername"

Help appreciated.

You can use beutilty.exe to let Backup Exec know about the new servername. More details on http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/277063.htm. This works for both Backup Exec 10 & 11.
