The remote agent on the server should be running on Local system account . What data do you have on the G: drive on which the backup is erroring out ????Also let me know hwat Operating system you have on that server ..?

It is running as the local system account and is running on Windows Server 2003 SE SP2.

The Data on the G drive are mainly .TIF and .DOC files.  There are a lot of files about 1 TB worth, but broken up into folders.  I have tried selecting the G drive as a whole, or just selecting a couple of folders.

Do yu have the AOFO option selected int he backup job properties ?
Also make sure process logical volume one at a time is selected under advance open file ...
IS there any other error which is reported int eh job log ....

AOFO is selected and so is the Process Logical volumes one at a time.  No other items are showing up in the job log.

 Could you please attach the Job log to this forum discussion .

Hello,

Please uncheck the G-Drive from the Selection list and re-check it again.

Open the job properties and go to Resource Credentials and test all the credentials.

Could you try selecting Microsoft Vss Under AOFO ... Instead of Automatically delect the open file technology

If yu try to select some of the files from the G drive and try to run the backup does it gives you the same error ....

This is sort of odd...

This is a daily job that has 3 drives selected.  Two of the drives are what I have been getting errors with (E & G) but it worked on the F drive.  That is odd since all of them are on the SAN...

I guess it might be some issue with rights on the San attached drives make sure the backup exec account have full control  ,  is there any other issue yoou are facing with the drive ?
Check if u able to backup using NTbackup ?
Try running defragmentation on those drives

Good call on trying to run NTbackup.  Running into an issue (well it thinks it completes) but it is only backing up 10kb worth of data.  So I am trying the good old, shut down and restart tonight.  If that does not work I will start looking at those drives further.

hi
i have the same problem and reboot did not help me

<database />

Have you tried what others suggested above (Before the reboot)?

Shows up on a W2003 R2 server for several days and goes away.  Comes up again later.  Something has to be done here Symantec!

I should have said that it happens on each of four W2003 servers that I have been backing up with only the usual BE problems for YEARS!
