I just took over as Sys Admin this week and I am finally getting down and dirty with backups. I attemped to do a test run to see what the file size of the backup would be because I had to make signifigant changes to what was being backed up. I am running into two issues:
a) If I select to do a credentials check, the job will fail with a common "0xe0008703 - Job failed running its test run" errror. Credentials should be OK because when I set up the regular jobs I tested the credentials and all went smoothly. Now if I un-tick the credentials check I get the next issue
b) The job will run for about 10 seconds and will run "sucessfully", but it does not scan the locations. Perform pre-scan is selected along with everything else EXCEPT the credentials check because that fails the job.
Any suggestions? Is 'b' not working because it needs a credentials check and if so, what can cause 'a' to fail?
