Backup Exec 16 Exchange GRT backup error with deduplication
After windows in place upgrade from windows server 2012 R2 to 2016, and BE services started normally and all job are running successfully, except Exchange and VMware GRT backup failed with the following error.
- Final error: 0xe0001203 - An error occurred while creating or accessing the directory specified for this operation. Check to make sure that the B2D folder and/or the temporary path specified for this operation are valid.
- V-79-57344-4611 - An error occurred creating or accessing the directory \\.pdvfs\servername\2\BEData specified for this operation. Ensure that the directory is accessible and can be written to.
I changed storage from deduplication disk to tape drive and job success .
FP 2 and latest HF 128051 are installed .
Probably time to log a formal support case as performing an in-place upgrade of the OS may have broken how the 'PDVFS' share works. And this 'virtual' share which is a function of Deduplication must work for any GRT based backups and restores involving deduplication.
It may be something as simple as security settings that are usually setup during deduplication install and initial configuration been overwritten by operating system defaults.
