Hi
I'm struggling with a duplicate backup task. Our CAS delegates a duplicate backup job to a media server which has 2 tape devices in a cascade.
The job fails with <Job Duplicate> -- The job failed with the following error: The directory or file was not found, or could not be accessed.
The Media Server can view the shared folder and select the backups to duplicate etc. It seems to make no difference if I create the job on the Media Server or on the CAS.
Log reports: Final error: 0xe00084af - The directory or file was not found, or could not be accessed.
Tapes are appendable and the job option is set to append or overwrite.
If I restart the services on the Media Server sometimes it works but at this moment nothing is working. Some jobs fail after pre-processing for a while and some jobs start straight away write about 3 or 4GB and then fail. We have 2 backup to disk volumes - one on a NAS shared via Windows SMB to both machines and the other a physical disk mounted on the CAS shared via windows SMB.
Both machines are domain controllers, the CAS is using w2k8 and the media server w2k3. Neither are in a cluster.
It makes no difference if I run the job manually from either server or from a profile or from either backup to disk folder.
Is it normal to get these messages?
