bobnoble Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 I have been using B/U Express for 6+ months and had no problem until two months ago. I start my backup just as I am leaving for the day and let it run overnight. Now, when I come in the next day, my machine has been rebooted and the backup has not completed. There is no error message in the log file, but it does show tha the backup was started. Here's the log from last night: ****************Start Log*********************** + Retrospect Express version 5.5.158 Launched at 4/17/2002 5:30 PM + Retrospect Driver Update, version 2.2.104 + Executing Immediate Backup at 4/17/2002 5:38 PM To backup set BackupSet20020417... - 4/17/2002 5:38:12 PM: Copying Drive C (C:) File "C:\Documents and Settings\rn\Local Settings\Temp\Acr152.tmp": can't read, error -1101 (file/directory not found) ****************End Log*********************** The size of the resulting backup file is typically about 4GB. A complete backup would required about 14GB of disk. I am backing up to a (NTFS formatted) network drive with 40GB of space remaining. My machine is running Windows2000 Professional SP2. All was fine until the beginning of March. Ideas? Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2ski Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 Does it always fail on this same .tmp file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobnoble Posted April 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 While I am not convinced it is failing on 'this' .tmp file (I think that is just the last entry in the log file when it reboots)... No, it does not always show the same .tmp file error as the last entry in the log file when this failure occurs. Looking earlier in the log where the backup was successful, this is a pretty typical log entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2ski Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Try this - exclude all .tmp files. See if that corrects the problem or not. It could be crashing on a tmp file that is being created, deleted, moved etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgriffiths Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 I have the same problem - seems to stop & reboot on a .tmp file connected with my firewall. I don't think we can exclude .tmp files specifically with Express (??) I'm going to disable the firewall tonight & see what happens...

lv2ski Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 You are right. You cannot exclude specific files with Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
