Backups fail with error 0xe000fe09 - The directory is invalid

JS_AHI_Carrier_
Level 2

Hi everyone,

 

We have set up a new terminal server with the software from NComputing "vSpace Server", based on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Remote Desktop Services role installed and the apropriate RDP licensing. It's a physical machine, not a virtual one.

We have Backup Exec 3600 R2 appliance for backups (Backup Exec 2012 fully patched) and I have set up an ordinary backup job for this server, backup to deduplication storage and duplicate the backup set to a second appliance, located offsite.

There is a scheduled script to logoff all users 15 minutes before the backup job starts at 23:00, to minimise the workload of the server and the open files.

The job runs with the Backup Exec system logon account which is a domain admin account with full access everywhere. No NTFS permissions have been altered.

 

The job summary is this:

And the selection list is this:

And the job log in TXT is as the following (but the paths which could not be accessed are always different):

All VSS writers appear to work fine with vssadmin list writers.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be???

100% sure??? I cannot imagine temp files beeing created in these folders during backup, while all user activity is stopped by logging off (not disconecting) all users...

The problem is not the selection list of the job. Have a look at screenshot of the selection list in the main post.

Isn't this a temp file?

File c:\windows\temp\{6846b5fa-3410-5b83-c995-1e4f32179257}\aksdf.sys is not present on the snapshot.

All the files listed could be orphaned entries in the registry left over from some work
