Hey folks! This is not a critical issue but it is driving me crazy and I
haven't been able to find an answer to this on the net. Hopefully one of you
exceedingly bright people will shed some light on the errors I'm getting.

The setup is this: I use Arcserve to back up our various servers (all fully
up-to-date Windows 2003 SP2), mostly using shares on those servers as the
targets. Haven't had any problems with this procedure until I created our
standard backup area on a new server that's running SQL 2005, which dumps its
backups into this area. I've double and triple checked all permissions and
they are identical to all the other backup areas on our network. When my
backup job tries to backup the 19 files that are there, it first logs this
successful login on the Target_Server:

But then it logs exactly 37 of these errors in extremely rapid succession:

At the same time, on the Backup _Server I get 37 of these errors:

--------------------------------------------------------

Since some of these are Kerberos errors on the target server, I checked the
time and it's synched almost perfectly across the domain (all servers
literally within tenths/hundredths of a second of each other). As it happens,
these two servers are on the same gigabit switch to boot.

I have my suspicions about the number of errors (which is exactly 2 times
the number of files minus 1), but I don't know if it means anything.

Also, I recreated this backup area on another new server (not running SQL
though) and it backs up from that server with no errors whatsoever. I have
also been doing a similar backup on another SQL 2005 server for years and
never had a problem.

The reason this is not critical is that the files get backed up anyway! I've
restored them and done file comparisons and checked the data and they're
perfect.

It's just that unexplained errors are the bane of my existence and I gots ta
know (with apologies to the movie Dirty Harry).

TIA for any help.
