Hi Gents,
Yesterday, out of the blue I started to get the following error’s when running a Tape backup of file data:-
The operation failed because of a protection agent failure. (ID 998 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))
After I tried to re-run the job a couple of times without success, I updated DPM to the latest Rollup pack (3), updated the DPM client of the offending server to the newer version and performed a restart on the offending machine and the DPM server.
But when I re-run the job I get still get the same error’s, anyone got any Ideas’? More details below:-
I should also mention that there are two other protections groups going to tape without any issues.
DPM Server:-
DPM 2012 v4.0.1920.0 running on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (Physical Server)
Offending Server:-
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VM running on Server 2012
Data being backed up: Userdata, just under 240,000 files totalling 140-145Gb
