It appears that you were right, I have checked the fileset in question and it grew in size almost twice since the last full backup (now at almost 800GB) so apparently the job just keeps cycling through spooling/despooling. I would say this "Spooling data again" message is a bit confusing and something to the sound of "Resuming spooling" or "Continue spooling" would be less alarming. I am still not sure what caused the "ERR=No such file or directory" errors. The file in the original message indeed vanished (deleted by the user) during the backup but I do not have any options set related to fileset verification. --Ivan The information transmitted in this electronic communication is intended only for the person or entity to whom it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
