Good Monday morning!
I am running ADSM Server for NT, PTF3. This weekend one of our clients
got the following error:

09/06/1997 03:01:28 Incremental backup of drive 'F:' with label
'TYPHOONF'
09/06/1997 03:01:38 Directory--> 0 F:\INSTALLR Sent
As you can see, it was backing up drive E: at the time that the error
occurred, then went right to drive F:. Unfortunately there are about
10,000 more files on drive E: that it never attempted to backup. Upon
investigation, it appears that there is a corrupt file in one of the
subdirectories on drive E: which cannot be deleted. Microsoft has
instructed the admins of that NT server that they will need to run a
chkdsk -f, and reboot the server before the file gets cleaned up. The
admins have informed me that they can not bring the server down until
next weekend. AND, to complicate matters, they do not feel comfortable
running that chkdsk unless they have good backups - which they are not
getting because of the I/O failure. I ran a selective of all of those
directories so that they would have backups of Friday's updates, but I
can't continue to do that all week because it's causing good versions to
be pushed out, and it's flooding my already 14Gb database!
Here's my question (finally!): How do I get ADSM to totally ignore the
corrupt file so that the rest of the files on that drive will be backed
up? It appears that even if I exclude the file, ADSM tries to read it
or something because I still get the error/failure.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help....
