Hi,
Can anyone explain how backup exec 2012 handles selection list for duplicate jobs when the previous duplicate is missed.
I have a B2D and a scheduled duplicate to tape, with the duplicate using the most recent full backup.
When the B2D fails the duplicate also fails. The next day the B2D works and the duplicate also works because the duplicate selection is seeing the most recent full backup and is backing it up ok. We have no problem with this setup Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
If the B2D backs up fine and the duplicate misses its time windows we get a different result. The next day when the B2D works ok the duplicate fails to backup with the below error. I can only think that it is seeing the "most recent full backup" as both that B2D and the B2D from the day before. The B2D jobs are overwritten every night which is why we get the duplicate backup set cannot be found.
job ended: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 3:30:19 AM Completed status: Failed Final error: 0xe0009444 - The requested source duplicate backup sets catalog record could not be found. Perhaps the media containing the source backup sets was previously deleted. Final error category: Job Errors
My question is why is it not actually using the one most recent full backup selection from that nights B2D as there would be a valid backup selection for this?
The selection list I mention is just for the duplicate job not the working B2D job.
