Hello,

You may refer to the following technote

Job fails with the error: "Directory not found. Cannot backup directory \ and its sub-directories."

thanks

The article you cite is not applicable. The directory in question is the WINNT directory. It has not been moved or changed in any way (I doubt you could move it even if you wanted to). If the job is re-run, it often succeeds, but that doesn't resolve why it failed in the first place.

Hello,

As mentioned in the earlier technote please recreate the job and verify.

Thanks

Good morning,
I have the same problem running Veritas Backup Exec for Windows Server 10.0 rev 5520.

The backup log shows in example the following errors:
Backup- C:
V-79-57344-65033 - Directory not found. Cannot backup directory \vol3\Saffe\DATA\SINDELAR\lana_technologie\PODKLADY\koordinace and its subdirectories.
V-79-57344-65033 - Directory not found. Cannot backup directory \vol3\Saffe\DATA\SINDELAR\lana_technologie\PODKLADY\Kotelna and its subdirectories.
V-79-57344-65033 - Directory not found. Cannot backup directory \vol3\Saffe\DATA\SINDELAR\lana_technologie\PODKLADY\new_line and its subdirectories.
V-79-57344-65033 - Directory not found. Cannot backup directory \vol3\Saffe\DATA\SINDELAR\lana_technologie\PODKLADY\Pila and its subdirectories.

I have ckecked that the directory still exists and the backup software has access to it. All the errors are related to the same directory SINDELAR. User uses this folder to store there data from his computer's local disk.

During the second run the errors ware on completely other folder:
Backup- C:
V-79-57344-65033 - Directory not found. Cannot backup directory \vol3\WORK\Nova slozka and its subdirectories.
V-79-57344-65033 - Directory not found. Cannot backup directory \vol3\WORK\Vystupni sekce and its subdirectories.

Could this be because the directory was just modified at the time when the job was backuping it?

I think yes.

Check the Selection list in text view and modify the selection list again.

Here is the technote
