Backup exec 9 Probs

[teddysherri]

Hello

I do believe this happens with all vertias backup programs, but if a program has a corrupt file that needs to get backed-up it stops the backup program. I have looked through the job set-up but can not find any options as to by-passing corrupting files instead of just stoping the backup.

Can anyone help?

cheers

Hi

Just exclude it from the selection list manually.

I found this registry fix in another post. I was having a problem with BE 9.0 failing on maiboxes with messages that contain corrupt files. Give it a try. It may work. I'll post again to let you know my results.

(Make Registry Change on Backup Server)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\Backup Exec\Engine\Backup

Set Fail Jobs on Corrupted Files to 0.

In case any one is following this thread, PineGar's registry change suggestion worked fine for me. This is a common problem, but many just eliminate the verification process during backup. Thanks, PinGar!!!

Making that registry change it OK, but it only masks the real problem. What if the file is really corrupt an when it comes to a restore your stuck.
Corrupt files in exchange are technotes on veritas support site. They can be fixed. Open PST files must be backed up the AOFO. You just masking something that could potentially be a problem and you would never know it.
Corrupt files should stop the backup - only fail it at the end.
