The job fails on valid directories.
When attempting to view the job history I get the following error:
Load XML failed. Reason: A. Error on line 32, position 102 in "f".
The paths shown in the job log are corrupted with control characters, and are not what is shown in the selection list when viewing it in text mode.
I've updated MSXML, but that has not resolved the XML issue.
Regarding the job failing, I've:
Done a database repair
Updated MSDAC
Removed the offending paths from the backup selection list, but then other directories fail that worked previously.
A casual observation is that the number of failed directories is always six..
