hhmmm... my thought was that someone must have searched the drive by date
modified and deleted a bunch of files (that would explain the randomness). As
for hardware errors, it's a raid 5 array, Compaq ML370g2, no errors reported
in the hardware.
The error in the NTbackup was probably a bad tape, the backup log just
stopped logging, and said: The operation did not successfully complete.
The window event viewer just gave the ID:8019, catagory: none, source:
NTBackup, and tells me to "Consult the backup report for more details". I'm
not so worried about this, (unless it had something to do with the deleted
files?...)

Hello T_A_C,.
Normally you will not loose some files from different locations, you have
to delete them, thats the only way how this happens. If you loose a complete
volume or disk, thats possible because of hardware errors but only some files,
never seen that.
And for your backup problem please postn the complete error message.
Best regards

additional info: everyone has full access to the files, but only some
files and they seem to be randomly deleted, however it's getting to
the point where i can't be a simple mistake, (now about a 25-30
different files from different directories, and all are retrievable
from the 24th vss snapshot, not after). It hasn't happened since,
(that I know of), enabling auditing wouldn't do much at this point,
(and even so, I'd have to enable it in AD then configure each
individual folder for it... I've got 1000's...). I've looked at all
the Windows logs, Acronis logs, and NTBackup logs for that day and the
day after,... no errors except for the NTbackup.

Situation: we have tens of thousands of files (mainly word processing
docs),
on our 2003 file/print server. Now seemly random file are gone! I
can't
figure out why!?....
I did notice that when I use vss for files to get these missing files
back,
that they all seem to be missing after Sep.24th 12pm (my afternoon
vss
snapshot). So something has happened that evening, (on the 25th at
7am I
have another snapshot taken and the files are not there).
Variables: Using NTBackup to VS-80 tape drive, Acronis TrueImage
Server 9.1 creating differential images nightly to an external USB
HD. I verified that neither backup routine crosses over each other
(time wise). The image for that night finished with no errors, but
the backup died during the backup of the system state, (however all
our files and such finished their backup)
Question: At first I chalked it up to users deleting file, but now I
not so sure... has anyone heard of this before, or have any
thoughts/suggestions? Thanks...
