An in-place restore (server up and restoring), will start but, 20-25 min later it fails with TONS of permissions issues. I have booted the server with the SDR disc, and it lists the server but, shows no backup time, so I am unable to restore. I can restore single files/folders with no issues but, a SDR restore is not possible from what I have found in my testing. I have a Windows 2019 server I just built for testing this (well it will be something else later), I have done a 1 time backup to test, Backup Exec 2014 does successfully backup the server with no errors.

We have not had an issue backing up/restoring any servers till now. I KNOW 2019 is not on the compatibility lists but, for now, I need a solution for this, if possible. As you can see upgrading to the newest version would cost a small fortune. The server has the library expansion, Deduplication, Windows, VMware, Applications, Unix licenses. We are backing up to disc, then duplicating to Tape for longer storage. I have Backup Exec 2014 SP2 (newest build, 14.1 Rev.

As we have 2014, it does not qualify for upgrade pricing according to Veritas, so this limits my options even more. In my company, I am an admin who deals with the backups, with this being said, budget is not there for a upgrade at this time.
