Hi Guys,
I have a bit of a strange issues. To give you an idea as how we are configured I will detail our policies and then detail the issue.
Backup Setup
Backup Server Windows Server 2008 R2, Backup Exec 2010 R3 with SP4 on a Physical Server connected to a Robotic Library.
Policies
Default Policy – This contains a Weekly Full Backup which backups to a folder call BackupToDisk. This backup is then duplicated by a backup called Weekly Full Duplicate. The Weekly Full Backup runs on a Friday between 22:01 and 21:59 on the Saturday. The duplicate backup is then set to run once the Weekly Full backup completes
Terminal Servers Policy – This contains a Weekly Full backup to Disk which again save backups to the BackUpToDisk Folder and then has a second linked job to Duplicate the backups to Tape. These jobs run on a Saturday starting at 22:01 till 21:59 on the Sunday.
Both duplicate jobs are linked to their respective Weekly Full Jobs and the use the Media Sets.
Issue
Currently the Weekly Full backup for our Default Policy for our main servers runs perfectly fine on a Friday and into the Saturday, but the duplicate job always fail with the following error message The job failed with the following error: The device cannot be found. If I then try and run the Jobs again by resubmitting on the Saturday then the Jobs again fail with the same error message. If I wait until after the Terminal Server jobs have completed on the Sunday and then resubmit the jobs for the rest of the servers the jobs complete successfully.
The Terminal Server Jobs both Weekly Full and Duplicate complete successfully.
I have checked that all the previous Weekly Full backups have completed which have all completed successfully, so there is no reason why the backup shouldn’t be working.
Does anyone have an idea as to why this happening and what I can do to stop this from happening.
Kind Regards
