I installed a pair of new hard drives in my workstation so I backed up everything that I needed and now I’m restoring it. I setup the share to restore to and set Backup Exec 9.0 to restore some files to that share point. I accidentally forgot to set the write flag on the share permissions so the backup software could write files there. That was my fault but what Backup Exec did is even worse. The software started “restoring” files to the directory and it did this for a good 46 minutes. At the end of that time I received an error message stating that “access was denied” to that share. Why the HELL did it wait 46 minutes before telling me that? Backup software is not a new thing, it’s been around for as long as there has been data to backup. I’m baffled as to why Backup Exec 9.0 has this atrocious bug.
