What version of Arcserve are you using. I have had a problem in the past where the pre backup scan crashed while reading an unprintable characture ' � ' . The problem was that after the Scan crashed the backup then kicked and only backed up every thing up to the crash. as the backup was successful only a detailed look at the Logs reveiled any thing was amis.
 
This bug was fixed in 5.01j and later.
 
I have backup directories with 1000's of subdirectories with later version with out any problems.
 
 
Was there any thing strange in the logs to indicate a problem?

Ran into very strange problem with my Ipswitch backup. I have about 750 users on Umail and backup is being done by ArcserveIT advanced edition. I went to restore a couple of mailboxes and then found that Arcserve only backed up about first 350 mailboxes during full backup, entirely skipping remaining 350. It is all in alphabetical order: my user directories are backed up from A to M, and from N to Z is nothing. I checked previous full backups - same picture. I went one month back when I had only 500 users and found that back up of user directories was done from A to R and nothing below.
 
Does anyone know about any bug in Arcserve that limits the number of processed subdirectories to 300-400?
 
thanks
