Hi Chavdar, For the containers we use a dedicated Windows Server, (on VMWare EsxI), with just a bunch of disks on NTFS. Each disk about 4 TB. INCR of one specific client crashes since a few days every time. There are about 25 million files there (40 TB). If I try incremental backup on a part of the disk, it works fine.
On the server with the containers, I checked events, antivirus, uninstalled Windows updates of August. Did not find any problems. The only similar case I found was here: https://adsm.org/forum/index.php?threads/storagepool-containers-going-unavailable.32858/ That points to a problem of memory on the Spectrum Protect server. Our system manager is on holidays this week, so cannot check that further.
