Re: Unable to backup certain files, no errors given
All of the files aren't being skipped. Only certain files in the WINNT directory and its subfolders. We have Advanced Open File option installed, and I've verified that the files are not in use, in any case. There are no entries in the job log stating "Unable to open the item skipped." I can't even get Notepad.exe to backup.274Views0likes0CommentsUnable to backup certain files, no errors given
I'm trying to perform a full backup of my server's C drive. I want to be able to capture all the files, regardless of the archive bit. I've tried using FULL (time modification) and COPY and the result is always the same, certain files in the WINNT directory do not back up. One good example is Notepad.exe. I've tried selecting the file by itself, and tried using C:\winnt\*.* and regardless, it doesn't seem to make it on to the backup tape. Also, some of the .dll files in the Microsoft.NET framework directory appear to be in the same situation. It doesn't appear to be part of the System State (for Win 2000) or the Shadow Copy Components (for Win2003) since I've tried a restore of both to different servers and Notepad.exe isn't on the target server. Would really appreciate help, since I'm unable to restore a working copy of the server without its WINNT directory intact.274Views0likes7Comments
