this process will certainly eat up your cpu usage as well as stop the backups as it holds the files<br />

to terminate this process you either need to go to task manager to kill it, you need to check symantec website for latest patches which can fix this issue.<br />

Hello <br />
We have a w2003 server running Backup Exec 11d.<br />
The backup jobs run to an external HDD.<br />
A job is set to run to drive each night and over write previous job.<br />
<br />
It seems that bakup jobs are not being over written and drive fails up causing the backup to fail at that point.<br />
<br />
I've noticed that wmiprvse.exe seems to put a lock on the backup files.<br />
Have tried a manual delete of files but get error prompt from Windows saying can't delete Access denied.<br />
<br />
After a server restart we can delete the files but I trust this is because the lock from wmiprvse .exe has been freed<br />
<br />
Could anyone advise on a possible solution for this<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

Backup Exec 11d / wmiprvse.exe issue

Hello 
We have a w2003 server running Backup Exec 11d.
The backup jobs run to an external HDD.
A job is set to run to drive each night and over write previous job.

It seems that bakup jobs are not being over written and drive fails up causing the backup to fail at that point.

I&#39;ve noticed that wmiprvse.exe seems to put a lock on the backup files.
Have tried a manual delete of files but get error prompt from Windows saying can&#39;t delete Access denied.

After a server restart we can delete the files but I trust this is because the lock from wmiprvse .exe has been freed

Could anyone advise on a possible solution for this

Thanks in advance

 

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.
