Hey Chester,

You need to put double quotes round you drive / path spec's like this 

<< / >>
  +aes: *
<< "c:\" >>
   +skip: *.tmp *.vsp *.mdf *.ldf
<< "d:\" >>
   +skip: *.tmp *.vsp *.mdf *.ldf

This is odd, after looking into this more most of the backups have these
exact lines in it, which show it may indeed be a directive issue, the
difference is none of them are showing up as failed, they show
successful.  :?

I'm going to run a backup against this client from the command line with
verbose output, there's something else that's causing this backup to
fail, but it's not showing up in the log.

I'm running into an issue where it looks like something is wrong with
the directive and it's causing a backup to fail, but it's only failing
on one server.

 

Here's the messages in the log from the server backup.  

 

--- Unsuccessful Save Sets ---

 

* D: 1 retry attempted

* D: -2:save: bad dir spec, line 3 of C:Program
FilesLegatonsrtmpsd000031

* D: C:Program FilesLegatonsrtmpsd000031 line 3: illegal token

* D: C:Program FilesLegatonsrtmpsd000031 line 3: parse error

* D: -2:save: bad dir spec, line 6 of C:Program
FilesLegatonsrtmpsd000031

* D: C:Program FilesLegatonsrtmpsd000031 line 6: illegal token

* D: C:Program FilesLegatonsrtmpsd000031 line 6: parse error

 

 

 

Here's my directive...

<< / >>

  +aes: *

 

<< c:\ >>

   +skip: *.tmp *.vsp *.mdf *.ldf

 

<< d:\ >>

   +skip: *.tmp *.vsp *.mdf *.ldf

 

 

Do I have the syntax of the directive wrong if it's only failing on one
server?
