Hello,
I've got Backup Exec 2014 SP2 (version 14.1) running on a Windows 2012 R2 server. One of the jobs is the back up to a LTO-5 tape library of some VMs, databases and a file server. It runs in the evening: incrementally from Monday to Thursday and a full back up every Friday.
Most of the job is OK (VM's and SQL DB's hosted on a server other than the file server). However the file server fails nearly every time. The failure point changes every time it fails, so it cannot be caused by one specific directory/file. Once BE "decides" that the directory or file was not found or could not be accessed, all the directories that are after the problematic one in alphabetical order will be ignored as not found or not accessible. The same file/directory may be backed up the next day without a problem.
The file server is the last part of the job but the failure is random in appearance: it is not time specific or path specific. It cannot be linked to a specific file format either. And sometimes the job runs successfully with the whole file server backed up.
The most frequent error code is E00084AF (about 50% of the time) then E000FE09.
Note that the file server is currently hosted on a server that also hosts VM's. Those VM's are backed up in a separate, longer job to a LTO-6 tape library.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
