PureDisk 6.6 backup jobs always abort with error on data selections containing filenames ending with ".1"

Hi.

This is really weird.

When running normal Files & Folders backups on Windows 2003 servers, any backup job stops with error
as soon as the agent is trying to access a file name ending with ".1" (dot-one) as extension.

Here is the test to reproduce the error:

  1. Create a folder (e.g. C:\PureDiskTest)
  2. Add with notepad a simple one-line text file and save it as C:\PureDiskTest\oddfilename.1 (make sure NO .txt extension is automatically added!!)
  3. Create a Data Selection to backup C:\PureDiskTest\*
  4. Run the backup job manually
The backup job will fail. Here is an extract from the job log file:

Anyone experiencing the same problem?

Are you still seeing this problem ?

I've attempted to reproduce (Using PureDisk 6.6.0.2) to no avail.

Can you place the client in 'debug' mode (Manage -> Clients -> More Tasks -> Set Debug Mode) and re-run the test.

Do you have a support case open for this ? If so, can you share the case ID.

Cheers

I'm getting the exact same thing. I haven't opened a case yet. Just enabled debug mode.

I can't update the config file either? Server has been rebooted. Agent restarted etc.
