Back-up Exec giving an error

[JamesNjenga]

Hi Guys,

Since i did not get a solution to the below...i have decided to re-post it

I do incremetal back up (system state) and full back up once a week. However, for the past two weeks i got the below error and my back-up failed..

I have tried De-activating McAfee but nothing seems to work.

Checked my Exchange to see if it has VSS errors and i couldnt spot one.

Tried back-up exchange alone and it doesnt work.

Any help?

Hi,

That happens if an application was removed/drives uninstalled etc. and it wasn't done properly.

You can simply create an empty file with that name in that location and it should resolve the issue.

Thanks!

Hi,

Are you saying i should create a File in c:\windows\system32\drivers\mfetdik.sys?

[CraigV]

Yes...

[VJware]

Yes, you can create a dummy file...try first creating an exception for this file & see if backup is successful or not...if exception doesn't work, you can create a dummy file

Hi i did that, and instead got a different error..

"The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block"

I changed my tape and put a new one but there was no change

i run a cleaning tape to the drive and there was no change.

James: just make sure you don't have a drive that's in prefailure, or failed already...

Run a chkdsk and defrag just in case too, and then try the backup once more.

Hi Guys, I have not got a soln for the above!! however am planning to install the mfetdik.sys drivers this weekend and see the result. I understand my registry may be corrupt. Let me repair and see the outcome.
