I am getting following error when I tried to delete .bkf file and delete B2D folder from USB hdd. �Cannot delete B2D000033: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

I can delete if I stop the BE services, but after starting back the BE services again those folders and backup files are creating in the same location.

Even I couldn�t format the USB drive.

Hello,

Please verify this technote.

"Directory or File was not found, or could not be accessed" (a00084af HEX or e00084af HEX) is reported when a backup job using the Advanced Open File Option fails.

If you take the backups on tape are they working fine?


Thanks,

Did you create "Backup to Disk folder on removable media" or a standard Backup to Disk on the USB drive?

When using USB or Fireware removable drives, they MUST be mounted on the same drive letter everytime that you mount them, or backup exec will not find them.

I couldnt resolve this issue. Since it is a production criticle issue, I have reinstalled the BE. Because all the backup was failed ( Tape full backup, Partial backup and i was running without backup for 2 weeks.

And now i need you peoples suggestion to create a B2D folder in USB( 1TB).

please find below my quries:-

1. Which Type of B2D folder i have to create. (B2D or Removable B2D), and also could you please tell me what is difference it will make.

2. Suggest good backup statergy with B2D folder for a week.

3. Suggest good configuration in device and Media for B2D
( Like, Size limitation for B2D folder, Overwrite protection etc.,)

4. What are all the step i need to follow to remove a created B2D folder from the HDD without any issues.

thats all now..

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,


What is the error now that you receive, or are you still facing the same issue?

Also did you create a removable B2D folder or just a normal B2D folder?
