Failed to preprocess target Error: Active interval not found

Post by AlexLeadingEdge »

Hi guys,

We have backup copies going to rotated USB drives. I have set a backup copy to only do two copies but for some reason it has done 20 and with the other backup copies it has filled the USB drive. I deleted the backup copy that had the 20 backup copies and ran an Active Full, but when I do the first time I get this error message:

Code: Select all

5/12/2018 10:58:07 a.m. :: Unable to create target storage, processing will be retried (retry 5out of 6)

I'm wondering why it is waiting when there are no other backups, replications or backup copies running?

It will eventually run, and if I run it again manually it will usually work first time, but it's a little annoying that it is waiting.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Hi Alex,

This is an unusual behavior. Please raise a support case and let us know the case ID.
