This is still a problem in the latest version as well. I am done with CPS. We paid for continuous protection and we have to do it as a scheduled backup. I might as well use robocopy.
Pathetic!
Current workaround options:
- Cancel the job and restart the Backup Exec Continuous Protection Agent service on the Source and Backup Destination Servers. Restart the CPS job and regularly monitor the available free disk space on the Backup Destination Server's relevant volume.
or
- Cancel the job and change the job setting Schedule from "Whenever a file changes" to "According to a schedule" or "Initiate the backup job manually".
* UPDATE * Identify the bloated file in the Backup Destination folder of the Target Server, then go to the corresponding file on the Source Business Server. Using Windows Explorer, right-click that Source Server file and choose "Properties"; this procedure triggers a resynchronization of the file on the Target Server and quickly returns the file to its proper size.
Are they kidding? All of these options require way too much interaction for what is supposed to be a continuous protection system.
Never again will I allow our company to buy this rubish.
