IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

FMV4077E

File 'filespace namepath-namefile-name' is encrypted by Microsoft EFS and contains at least one sparse data stream. The operating system does not support restore for this file so it is not backed up or restored.

Explanation

An error in the Microsoft Windows API prevents successful restore of files that meet the following conditions:
  • The file is encrypted by Microsoft Encrypting File System (EFS) at the time it was backed up
  • The file includes at least one data stream (alternate "named" stream or unnamed stream) that is sparse
  • The operating system is any edition of Microsoft XP, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2
Because the file cannot be restored, IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager does not back it up. The problem is documented by Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2525290.

System action

The file is not backed up or restored. Processing continues with the next object or ends if there are no further objects.

User response

If this message is issued during a backup operation, you can do the following:
  • Disable EFS encryption for the file so that it can be backed up.
  • If a backup copy of the file is not necessary, you can exclude it from backup.
