randallrash Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 If I have a selector to exclude .mdf files, which checks OK when I test the selector, why do I get a "can't read security information, error -1020 (sharing violation)" error during backup? I am using the backup client on that server and the log shows it connects OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randallrash Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 P.S. I didn't have this problem until I created a proactive script. I also had Retrospect set to launch in a terminal server session (admin) and it was working fine. I wonder if proactive is making it run with a different login.

randallrash Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 After more testing I have discovered that it is the "Create snapshot" option that is causing the error messages. If I am using a domain admin account in Retrospect 7.0 and the Retro Client why would I have these errors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Hi Selectors don't apply to snapshot creation. This error means that the files are locked by another program and are in use. The lock is what causes the error - not a permissions problem. The only way around it is to use the Retrospect open file backup add on.

randallrash Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 But I have a selector to exclude these files, so why should I get an error? If I don't have the "create snapshot" option checked, I don't get errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Hi Selectors apply to actual files on disk. They don't/can't exclude information about those files from the snapshot. The snapshot is a picture of the entire directory structure of any given disk. Snapshots include _all_ files and folders on disk no matter what has been excluded from backup.
