How to prevent Backup Exec from failing a backup operation when encountering corrupt files (excluding Microsoft Exchange files)

One day one of my colleague from International region called me for Back Exec problem. He was not able to complete backup operation for his FNP server due to error.

WARNING: "" is a corrupt file.
This file cannot verify.

When Backup Exec (tm) encounters a corrupt file, the job will fail. Following is observed in the failed backup job log:

 While investigation came to know that backup is failing because of one of the .Pst file which is online. I mean in use & someone kept that file on FNP for being backup & can be accessible from any location.

We can’t remove the file because that is what our business requirement was but at the same time  we want to complete the backup jobs.

 To Avoid such cases & to run backup jobs successfully in the Backup Exec follow some tips which are mentioned below.

 Create a Reg_Dword key called Fail Jobs on Corrupt Files in following location as per you backup exec version.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\Backup Exec\Engine\Backup [For versions 9x and 10x]

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SYMANTEC\Backup Exec for Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\Backup [For versions  11x and above]

Deduplication

Data Deduplication and growing Disk/Storage demand. IDC REPORT – Storage Purchase and expected. Source:   IDC Worldwide File-Based Storage 2011-2015 Forecast:   Foundation Solutions for Content Delivery, Archiving and Big Data, doc #231910, December 2011   Using DDPEval.exe we can use to evaluate savings with Deduplication without even installing or enabling deduplication. Yes I am talking about Windows 2012 deduplication. How it works? 1. Segment data into small variable sized chunks 2. Identify and remove duplicate chunks 3. Replace duplicate copies of each chunk with a reference to a single copy 4. Compress Chunks. DFS and Deduplication: Data Deduplication works fine with Distributed File System (DFS) Replication. Optimizing or unoptimizing a file will not trigger a replication because the file does not change. DFS Replication uses Remote Differential Compression (RDC), not the chunks in the chunk store, for over-the-wire savings....
