Description

Error Message

 Resource \\SERVERNAME\RESOURCE was found in the previous instance of this job, but it is not present in this job. 

Cause

 This can happen if a folder or other resource has been deleted or is offline during the backup job. This message can also appear if an item has been excluded from a resource in a selection list, for example creating an exclusion for a specific SQL database while selecting the entire SQL resource in a selection list.

Resolution

If the resource no longer exists, recreate the backup job.  Run a new backup to ensure Simplified Disaster Recovery is enabled for the server.  

 This message is expected if the resource has been excluded.

 

 

Issue/Introduction

  • Jobs are ending with exception
  • Job selections show fully selected, however SDR light is not light up green, it shows as turned off
  • DR files are not being created in %programdata%Veritas\Backup Exec\SDR\DATA
  • This prevents the ability to do a bare metal recovery using the Simplified Disaster Recovery Disk(SDR), a manual recovery of the server must be performed.
