Backup Errors

[neutec]

Hello All,
Im trying to do a simple backup on a few folder on the server. Everything runs fine until it begins to verify the backup. I have attached the error log. Can someone maybe make sense of it and let me know what Im doing wrong?

Thanks everyone

That's very interesting, when I usually see this error is before a backup even begins! If you have a SCSI drive then it may be the controller. Veritas offers a few solutions:

Well I tried what you suggested and no luck. The only way I can get it to work is to remove the check mark next to verify after backup. If it doesnt try to verify, it works great. Do you know of any other good source for support?
