Backup fails due to corrupt file but the file does not exist

BrokenToe

Backup jobs in Backup Exec 2012 are failing with the following log entries:
 

Backup- \\<server name>\D:WARNING: "\\<file path>\<file name>.xls" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify.

Verify- \\<server name>\D: DATAPART2WARNING: "<file name>.xls" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify.

 

I attempted to investigate the corrupt file but I cannot see the file in the reported location.  "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" is enabled.

What is causing Backup Exec to see a nonexistant file and how do I correct the problem?

Hi,

Deselect the drive and then reselect it and see if this fixes it once the next backup runs.

Thanks!

OK, I'll give this a try and manually start the job after business hours today.

Did you enable AOF in your job? If not, enable it

Hi,  you can try excluding the file from your backup definitions  see: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO99632

In the selection list for the backup job, check the details view and make sure someone has not added a specific entry for that XLS file into the backup config.

 

The details view is a text view of what you have selected.

This did not work.

Yes, AOF was already configured.

I checked and the only explicit entries in the Selection Details are exclusions (and none of those are .XLS files).

I will try excluding it.
