For the past 18 months or so our Server has had an inability to process a file created by an “Ex” employee.
Our tape backup software was halting every night and every subsequent utility I have tried can not remove this file.
Each attempt to delete or rename it has failed with a “file not found” error.
As far as I can see it has been named oddly but having tried creating similar filenames they never behave like this one.
I guess filtering it out may help but it would be nicer to find the CAUSE and solution.
Our company only runs a simple network, and backup is from two 40 gigabyte petitions to two 40 gigabyte USB Iomega HD backup drives.
It is a mirrored array so there is a complete copy on the server but we prefer to keep a locked copy out of general user reach on the Iomegas.
The filename we have an issue with is as follows,
con. bearings.doc
The only unusal aspect I first noticed was the space between the first period and the word bearings. There are no trailing or preceding spaces elswhere.
Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
