Hi,

I am running 8.6 SBS and i am getting backup failures due to verify errors.

The file is ??? is different.
Difference encountered in file data.

The files change each time a backup is performed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Jason

In Veritas speak, Verify DOES NOT compare tape to disk. It reads the tape, computes checksums, and compares them to the checksums stored on tape. If the checksums match, the verify is successful.


See http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/267554.htm for some troubleshooting steps

Jason,
I also am running 8.6 and I'm having the same issue you've described. My verify fails at the same folder, but differing files. It happens to be an Exchange \ Drafts folder of a user. Some things that have given me a good backup were to recreate the backup job--successful one day--but failed the next at the same folder--different file. Next was deleting the file it said was different. Successful backup again--but failed the next day.
Are our problems related? Have you had any good advice?
Thanks!
Joe
