After a NetBackup installation, it is possible for the first EV-SQL backup policy to fail with a status 13 error. If an EV-SQL backup fails with a status 13, do the following:

• Make sure that the SQL version that is installed is at least SQL 2005 SP2 or greater.

• Create the following registry DWORD value in the particular SQL client.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veritas\NetBackup\BEDS\Engine\NTFS\FsUseAsyncIo
  

• Set the registry DWORD value to 1.

  If this registry DWORD value already exists and the value is set to something other than 1, change the value to 1.
