Data Protector -- Cannot Backup Files of Zero kb

Hi,

I am running DP 5.5, trying to backup a Windows Enterprise Cluster Gateway Server but get the following error when trying to backup files of 0kb...ie link files, thumb.db, or empty word docs. For whatever reason there are hundereds of files of zero kbs on our Windows 2003 Storage Servers..When i insert some data into the empty files they rae backed up no probs.. Any ideas..

Cannot open: ([87] The parameter is incorrect. ) => not backed up.

We're getting the same, HP Cluster Gateway WSS edition, DP5.5, and a bunch of 0b files with "The parameter is incorrect" - did you manage to resolve?

We still have not resolved the issue, I have currently set the report level to warning on the backup specification, to prevent the backup logs getting filled up with the 'minor' errors. I have a call open with HP at the minute and have been chasing them but still no response.

Do you have your case # - I'm going to raise a call (currently on a HP Managed services site - may have some leverage!!)

We dont have case ID as our HP/CGS contact has flagged this issue direct to guys in the DP labs (to get a quicker response...emmm). Regards
