Excluding System Volume Information

[KevinHanson]

Hello all,

I am a new registered member but not a stranger to adsm.org. I have always found great help in the forums with past problems.

Here is one I am not finding an answer to...

In my backup report I am seeing these errors:
Error processing '\\phhp-file02\c$\hmpl\hmpl05\System Volume Information\{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}': the object is in use by another process (SESSION: 2149)
Error processing '\\phhp-file02\c$\hmpl\hmpl05\System Volume Information\{52f5d344-2142-11de-a265-0050568d2304}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}': the object is in use by another process (SESSION: 2149)
Error processing '\\phhp-file02\c$\hmpl\hmpl05\System Volume Information\{52f5d366-2142-11de-a265-0050568d2304}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}': the object is in use by another process (SESSION: 2149)

Here is the examples of my dsm.opt that I am trying to use to exclude the system volume information directory with out success:

EXCLUDE "\...\System Volume Information"
EXCLUDE "*:\System Volume Information"

and have tried

EXCLUDE.DIR "\...\System Volume Information"
EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\System Volume Information"


The error happens when backing up the UNC path of system volume information of the multitude of shares I have on this Windows 2003 64bit server. What trick am I missing to exclude system volume information directories in mass?

Regards,
Kevin

EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\System Volume Information"

Uhm, "*:\...\System Volume Information" ?

 

[KevinHanson]

Thanks Ed, I will go back to the basics and try just EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\System Volume Information"

If I still get errors I will try JohanW's idea of "*:\...\System Volume Information"

I let you know my success or failure.

You'll need the "*:\...\System Volume Information" version. Otherwise you only exclude if it's at root of drive path.

Correction - should read:

EXCLUDE.DIR "*:\...\System Volume Information"

Ok I now have "*:\...\System Volume Information" in my opt file to try for tonight's backup.

What are your thoughts on "*:\...\System Volume Information\*"

I am just thinking ahead incase "*:\...\System Volume Information" does not work.

This should work. If not try it with EXCLUDE.DIR

Thanks for the help yesterday. My backup report is still showing 305 errors on System volume information after the modification of the dsm.opt file based on your suggestions.
Here is a sample of the errors:
Error processing '\\phhp-file02\c$\hmpl\hmpl01\System Volume Information\{52f5e0b7-2142-11de-a265-0050568d2304}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}': the object is in use by another process (SESSION: 2734)

It is the same folder in Sysvol returning the error: {52f5e217-2142-11de-a265-0050568d2304}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}
Can I eliminate just this folder specifically?

Thoughts?

Kind of curious , have u bounce the tsm client services after u change the dsm.opt entry...

 

[JohanW]

I have a nagging feeling System Volume Information is excluded by VSS (it is on the client I checked it on just now, not excluded in dsm.opt but can't backup in the GUI client anyway) and you have a VSS problem locally rather than any problem backing up a remote filesystem.

This //phhp-file02, might that be the local machine? C:\hmpl\hmpl05\, might that be a volume mounted on a directory?
