For some reason, Backup Exec marked a job as Successful although it did not back up anything.
The job status should be "Failed" or "Completed with exceptions" so it's easier to see that the job didn't work as expected. The only indication I have now is the low byte count (480 bytes).
Because of this, I didn't notice that the backup was not working until I tried to recover some files...
