Description
Error Message
No error messages; some databases are not visible within the Backup Exec selection list.
Cause
Backup Exec requires the database names to be unique across all SQL AG systems.
Resolution
This issue is resolved in Backup Exec 24
Workaround:
Ensure that every database has a unique name, even if they are located on a different SQL AG(s)
Issue/Introduction
When creating a SQL AG (Availability Group) backup job, some of the databases might not be visible within the Backup Exec selection list.
This is because these databases are detected by Backup Exec as already existing with exactly the same name on another SQL AG system.
All SQL AG databases need to have unique names; otherwise they are only selectable from one of the SQL AG systems.
