If the Backup Exec(tm) files or registry keys are missing or corrupted, they can be repaired by running the Backup Exec installation program and selecting the Repair option.  The Repair option re-runs the installation program stoping all the Backup Exec services, reinstalls the corrupted files and registry keys, reinstalls the tape devices (stand-alone drives and libraries) and finally restarts the Backup Exec services. The database will not be reinstalled during this process.

Note:  Any changes made to Backup Exec program files and registry keys will be reset to the original settings.
