Hanging Backup-Job is filling up disk with trash
a few days ago we set up a new backup.exec enviroment - our backup exec server has two external disks (each with a capacity of 80TB) i've configured all necessary backup jobs and monitored their funktionality the last days. I mentioned a high storage consumtion the last days and started further investigations.
i found out, that all the waste data is stored in a single directory D:\BEData\img000324. Under this directory there are (at the moment) > 500.000 directories - each of them containing about 100MB. i looked in the file "Backup-Config.txt" and searched the corresponding backup-job - which is not running any more! I searched the backup history and found a failed job (Error-Code E000F18) with IMG000324 as mediainformation.
Every second new folders with the same 100MB of data are created - only a restart of the backup exec services stopps this process. After that (and some time) the trash-data has been cleanded up.
This problem occured three times in the last month - its very annoying for us. :(
Is this a known bug?
How could this happend?
Has anyone the same issue and still found a solution for this problem?
