Resolution
Backup Exec is currently investigating this problem, however there is a workaround as follows:
Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\veritas\Backup Exec For Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\Misc\EnableOptimizedDuplicationDataDomain
By default this will be set to 1 (enabled). Change this setting to 0 so optimized duplication will not be used.
- If this registry key does not exist, that may be an indication that the plugin was installed manually without running the installer. Either run the Data Domain OST plugin installer, or create this registry key manually with a type of DWORD and a value of either 1 or 0 depending upon the desired action as outlined above.
