Slight Adjustment Needed
by warnox, January 31, 2015
Thanks for writing the script, it's works great with BE 2014 but needs a slight modification for Nagios to display the output correctly.

The line,

txt = "Error on backup job | " & txt

should not contain a pipe '|', because Nagios interprets everything after the pipe as performance data, https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#AEN200.

Changing this to any other character, like a hyphen, fixed the problem.

txt = "Error on backup job - " & txt

Issue with 64bit
by tomlol, February 29, 2012
had this issue with my 64 bit BExec server http://vittoriop77.blogspot.com/2007/05/64bit-provider-is-not-specified-and.html

That resolved it, however check_backupexec now ALWAYS returns OK, even if there are errors.
