Do you mean to say the backup always fail at the same file ? If yes, does the backup complete, if this specific file is not included in the selections ?

If this file (or directory) is excluded, does the backup complete successfully ?

Have you turned on Advanced Open File Option? If not, turn it on and leave the VSS choice on Automatic.

Does it related to Oracle ?

Only you can tell us if it relates to Oracle or not...you know your environment better than us, and you know what's included in that directory from a file/application installation perspective...

Do ensure AOFO isn't enabled for the Oracle DB backup job.

Has the Oracle backup ever worked successfully ?

Failure even disabled AOFO...

 

Please advice.

My 2c almost 2 months later -

Oracle backup should never be done with normal file-level data - not even with AOFO.

Oracle should be backed up in one of 3 ways:

1) Oracle agent for BE to perform online, hot db backups.

2) rman backup to disk, followed by file-level backup of disk dumps and Oracle dbs added to exclude list.

3) Shutdown Oracle before taking file-level backup of E:\
