Description

Error Message

Error E0A20070: Recovery point created was corrupted.
Error E0A20019: Backup Failed.

Cause

The above error will happen if the filename of the recovery point (.v2i) on the destination is different from the filename specified when creating the backup job.

This may happen when special characters are used in the fileame such as ? " / \ < > * | :.  These characters might have different meaning to the destination file system and therefore the filename created by the backup job might be different from the command script.

For example:

Backup the boot partition with the following command where the destination is a mount point to a Windows share with NTFS file system.

symsr -b /boot /d //boot:001.v2i

Colon ':' is a special characters in the NTFS file system, and the above command to create a recovery point with filename boot:001.v2i will result in different filename in NTFS file system.  This will cause the backup to fail with error "Error E0A20070: Recovery point created was corrupted."
 

Resolution

Avoid using special characters in the recovery point filename.
