Problem is someone or something is probably editing files during your backup period. &nbsp;Check the modified timestamp on the data to see if it is during your backup window.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am continually receiving this error periodically but now it seems I get it more than ever, &quot;Difference encountered in file data&quot;. &nbsp;If i run the job again it usually completes successfully. However from most of the solutions its usually a bad tape or change in a file. &nbsp;But the error is thrown for difference in the system state of the servers it backups. &nbsp;And our jobs are not backing up to tape they backup to folder. &nbsp;Any suggestions on how to get this job to run successful every night without getting this error message.<br />
<br />
Error Message:<br />
Verify- \\SERVER\System?State \\SERVER\System?StateDiffe<wbr />rence encountered in file data.<br />
The file System Files\System Files is different.<br />
Difference encountered in file data.<br />

Thanks in advance.<br />

Backup Exec Error - Difference encountered in file data.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
