Windows 2008r2 Master and media servers running 7.5.0.4
Hi all,
I've been reading through the forums here and web searching some solutions, but thought I'd reach out while I'm researching on my end. Not having much luck so far. Our main company file share is sitting out on a NetApp filer, and of course contains many millions of files. The full backup of this data is over 9tb, and I've been using NDMP to back this data up. While the backups using NDMP are fairly stable, the restores can be rediculously slow (I've given up on that fight). Plus, NDMP restores are proprietary to the platform that the data was originally backed up on, so if/when we eliminate all of our Netapp appliances, I'll have yet another bridge to cross for restores.
But for now, I'm trying to run a cifs backup of this data using the MS-Windows policy type. I'm running a Full backup, then will run incrementals, and then will start playing with Synthetic backups for the fulls. The data is writing as I type this, and has completed about 4tb, so the backup is working, sorta. I'm jumping the gun a bit by reaching out, since the backup has not actually failed yet, but the best I can expect is a status 1, which *may* interfere with the Synthetic backup when I'm ready to try that. I'm seeing a ton of these messages in the job details...................

There are so many, the job details tuncate the message after 10 occurences.
I'll gladly provided any information needed. Hoping some of you have experienced similar issues and can shed some light.
Thank you!
