job status: failure

[SirLee]

I have a strange problem with backup exec 8 I recently installed

I do a complete backup and verify job.

The backup runs through fine

The verify runs through fine

The protocoll gives me no errors but the result of the job is failure.

I first thought it would be the verify that failes.
so I did a verify of that backup i got no errors.

I've tried the job several times now all with the same result.

Does anybody know what that status means? I was hoping to get something like "job completed successfully"

Thank you

I have noticed sometimes if there are files that were skipped or open and you donot have the backup open file option...you can get that error..

I have had to restore from a tape that came back with a failure message, and it worked fine...

If you are backing up a network and getting this error message it's probally caused by an open file.

I sometimes get that message...I did a test and left a file open during backup and I did get that message...Backup went fine and verify went fine also...But status said failure..

Hope this helps
