The backup was done in a previous version of Backup Exec (2010) about 8 months ago.
The issue we are experiencing is with restoring a file that was located on a server (called VSAPPFS01) via the shadow copy method.
When we used to restore to that server it would affect DFS replication and revert files in other directories being edited to previous versions. We are unsure why but it was. We decided to then restore to a non-DFS server and copy the restored files across.
The issue still seems to be occurring even when we do not save to the same server.
Initially we chose to not restore path, permissions, etc for the file but an error occurred stating that the file could not be restored and we needed to back up the file in the newer version and then restore it. (which I cant see how that is possible)
When we chose the default options and saved the file to another server it restored the file but people the next day mentioned that their files have been reverted to previous versions.
Is this a known issue?
The server that has BE on it is a domain controller and has DFS enabled for name spaces, but does NOT do any replications that is done on our file server to backup server.
We have a support ticket with Symatec open and they asked us to disable DFS on the domain controller which lead to all the shares breaking and lots of unhappy users.
