Backup consistently failing

Jay2000

My backups are consistently failing with the message, "The backup of the item is bad."

Going into the properties page of the most recently completed job, I see:

Skipped files: 50
Corrupt files: 149

The info for one of the skipped files looks like this:

File was skipped : \\MAIL\Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes\SMTP (MAIL-{C9F47770-ABD2-4C0C-A4CC-B4FA1AD5B53E}) [{c9f47770-abd2-4c0c-a4cc-b4fa1ad5b53e}]TempTable#1#0 〰〰〰〰㉤㐶㘵戴攸昶〷挴㌹〹㥢ㄲ慡ㄶ㙦ㄵ㜰〰慣㔶摥㉦扡改㔹愴㐸㘹扢改㌶㕤つ愳〰〰〰〰〰㜲〰〰慣㔶摥㉦扡改㔹愴㐸㘹扢改㌶㕤つ愳〰〰㄰㔰戸㜵〰〰Returned mail
 
And here's one for one of the corrupt files:

File is corrupt : \\MAIL\Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes\SMTP (MAIL-{C9F47770-ABD2-4C0C-A4CC-B4FA1AD5B53E}) [{c9f47770-abd2-4c0c-a4cc-b4fa1ad5b53e}]TempTable#1#0 〰〰〰〰㉤㐶㘵戴攸昶〷挴㌹〹㥢ㄲ慡ㄶ㙦ㄵ㜰〰慣㔶摥㉦扡改㔹愴㐸㘹扢改㌶㕤つ愳〰〰〰〰〰㜲〰〰慣㔶摥㉦扡改㔹愴㐸㘹扢改㌶㕤つ愳〰〰〰昲㤲戴〰〰Returned mail
 
My assumption is that Backup Exec is having a hard time dealing with non-Latin characters in either filenames or email messages, or both. Would this be correct? If so, how can I fix this so that my backups work properly?

Thanks.

I have still not been able to resolve this problem. Can anyone help with this?

Two months and not one response? Does anyone from Symantec actually read this board?

 

This is getting ridiculous.
