Resolution
The “limited edition” version of the SQL 2005 is not supported and is not listed on our APM Compatibility Guide that can be found on the www.quest.com website under the documentation section of NetVault Backup.
Only the SQL 2005 Express or SQL 2005 Standard, Enterprise and Web Editions are supported.
Once the correct version for SQL 2005 is installed, uninstall the SQL Plugin and then re-install the SQL Plugin, making sure you configure the SQL Plugin for the new Database.
