Problems backing up OS X machine
Hi,
I recently encountered a problem with one of our backup jobs. If it succeeds it usually backs up 3,5 TB od data from an OS X server that has a couple of iSCSI shares connected to it. Two weeks ago this full backup failed after backing up 1,34TB of data with this error:
Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xe000ff11 - A communications failure has occurred with a Linux or Unix resource.
Final error category: Resource Errors
And the next days daily backup failed with this error:
Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xe000ff11 - A communications failure has occurred with a Linux or Unix resource.
Final error category: Resource Errors
I checked on the server and it turned out that the agent was not running, I tried to restart it, but it did not start, so I reinstalled it and run a test backup, which worked. I thought it was a one time thing and left it like that for this week. This week the backup failed again, this time after backing up 1,36TB which seems to close to last weeks 1,34TB to be an accident. It failed with the same error and the agent is again not responding.
I googled the error of course and found this:

But I can't find the 'Back up contents of soft-linked directories' option.
All I see is this:
and this:
Do you guys have any ideas what could be causing this? And where do I find 'Back up contents of soft-linked directories' option? Did the name of it change? I am using BE 2014.
Thanks in advance.
