I'm still working on that.Īs of this morning some 18 backups in a row have run successfully. It appears some of these errors are related to having VSS invoked by both Backup Exec AND VMware. I still get an occassional "Completed with exceptions" error - but those are manageable.

So - beware use of the Windows 'compress" option on very large drive partitions. I have now run backups on all our VMs and all backed up without fail. For whatever reason this appeared to solve the problem. This time I turned off the 'compress' option. Could it be that the compress option was causing my problems? Doubtful, but I was out of ideas that made more sense.Įventually I reformatted the B2D drive partition. When originally formatted as NTFS the Windows 'compress' option was turned on for that drive. The Backup-to-Disk folder is setup on a 4.5TB raid array. It began to "feel like" something unrelated to Backup Exec itself. Wasn't sure what to make of that - but it was at least a clue. I eventually observed that the VM backups themselves were running to completion - only to fail during the "Writing Catalog" final phase.

We remain in need of backing up the full VM disk images but are finding Backup Exec unwilling to do so without these errors.Īm I overlooking something obvious here?

LiveUpdate seems to be flaky, it works fine for several days, then stops working, works fine after a few reboots, then needs to be registered after each reboot several times in a row (etc.). These backups are being written to a 4.5 TB backup-to-disk folder that works for all other BE jobs.
