Recently, my nightly backup jobs have been failing due to cancellation (automatic cancellation due to elapsed time).A couple of hours into the job, the tapes are ejecting with a request for new media:Please insert overwritable media into the drive.Ov...

After upgrading to BE 2010 SP3, most of my jobs are now failing with error e00084AF: Directory C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\DOMAIN\DO_NOT_REMOVE_NtFrs_PreInstall_Directory was not found, or could not be accessed. I'm sure I can't be the only one.

Can you use .DR files created from previous backup sets when you do an SDR recovery? For example, if you are restoring Wednesday's backup, can you use an SDR file that was created Tuesday? I'm asking because it seems the .DR file is created after the...

Is encryption in Backup Exec 2012 per job or per server? I have two servers backing up to tape and I'd like one to use encryption and the other not to use encryption. I don't see any per-job encryption options, though I may be missing them...

It's been almost two months and none of my media servers are installing this automatically. Is there a problem we should be aware of?

Since this error (for me) only seems to affect the Media Server, simply excluding this folder from the selection list is a good workaround. Good luck! [In my affected environments, the media server is the only domain controller].

This seems to be happening on two media servers after the installation of 2010 SP3. Both media servers are domain controllers, and the error occurs on the local backup (i.e. not on remote servers). Nothing is noted in the event logs. I have set a man...

I read the technote, but it refers to a completely different folder. I have also read 822132, which refers to Server 2003, but so far my error has been limited to Server 2008. I still have some Server 2003 Media Centres to upgrade, though. Since this...
