Here is the registry entry to stop Backup Exec from failing backup jobs when corrupt files are encountered
[For Backup Exec versions 9x and 10x]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\Backup Exec\Engine\Backup
[For Backup Exec versions 11x and 12x]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SYMANTEC\Backup Exec for Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\Backup
On the menu bar, select Edit | Add Value
In the Value name field, type in Fail Jobs On Corrupt Files
For the Data Type, select REG_DWORD
In the right window, double-click Fail Jobs on Corrupt Files
Change the Value to 0 (zero)
Restart the Backup Exec services or restart the Windows server.

Do I make this change on the Backup Server or on the server being backed up?
Thanks!!
Scot – do it on the backup server, not the remote server being backed up.
