The backup of the item is bad

Hi

 

I run Full backups of our VMware virtual machine every weekend to a network drive. I have also planned a duplicate job to run to USB drive after a successful full backup. The duplicate job has a separate verify job that runs after the duplicate job is done. The verify job gives me this error:

 

(Job: "backup-Verify (Duplicate)") backup-Verify (Duplicate) -- The job failed with the following error: The backup of the item is bad.

Completed status: Failed

Final error: 0xe000fe2d - The backup of the item is bad.

Final error category: Resource Errors

 

The knowledge base articles did not give any helpful information. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? We have Backup Exec 2012 and all the updates are installed.

    This means that your duplicate job is no good. Either your USB drive is bad or the USB connection is bad.

    The disc doesn’t report any errors and backup exec is able to remove the old backups and write the new ones on the disk, though I haven’t had a need to actual test recovery from the USB drive. The drive is Samsung USB 3 drive and it's connected to USB 3 port.

    To rule out issues with this USB drive, have you tested a duplicate & verify to another storage ?
