Mind telling me which one, dear?
So the backup failed last night and I remote in to look at the log file errors....
“Verify of "F:"
Backup set #3 on media #1
Backup description: "SBS Backup created on 9/19/2005 at 7:00 PM"
Verify started on 9/19/2005 at 10:30 PM.
Error: An inconsistency was encountered in the requested backup file.”
Okay... that's nice...mine telling me which file?
Steve Foster posted up in the SBS2k yahoogroups a patched backup script [bkprunner.exe] that excludes the verify command. [the file is in the Yahoo Files section]
Hmmm.. maybe I might want to try that if I can't figure out what file it doesn't like?
Now the Backup troubleshooting page says
Backup fails, reporting "An inconsistency was encountered."
Cause: You are backing up to a UNC path on the local computer that is currently being backed up.
Solution: Use the Backup Configuration Wizard to change the destination of the backup to another location. Alternately, you can use the wizard to exclude the UNC path from the backup.
Merv talked about his backup resetting and including the drive of the backup as well... I wonder if that's what's happened to me? Hmm.... doesn't look like it. Okay so maybe I'll wack off the backup verification.
Update - also in my log file was a 'bad block on device 2' which of course is the harddrive. So I flipped that one out and the backup completed perfectly tonight.
