I received a mismatch size error during archive. What do I do?
A mismtached size error during backup could be due to a number of points of failures that could cause this.
- Issue during the restore while checksumming
- Issue with writing data onto tape
- Issue with the data itself
In essence, the data should not be delete as this task is considered failed.
We recommend:
- Running the job again.
- Run the job to another tape.
- Check the data for any illegal file paths of corrupt files.
