By adding or modifying the registry key mentioned below, Backup Exec can be configured not to fail the job when a corrupt file is encountered. Please note, this solution is not intended for use with Microsoft Exchange files such as .EDB, .STM and .LOG files. Corrupt Microsoft Exchange files may be indicative of another problem with the Exchange store.
Warning: Use of this registry key will result in the successful status of job operations that otherwise would have qualified as being failed operations. Ordinarily, successful job status indicates that 100% of the targeted data has been protected and recorded to media. After this registry key has been enabled, a successful job status will indicate a primarily successful backup operation with exceptions. When this key has been enabled, Symantec recommends that an inspection of job log files is performed to make note of any possible exceptions that may have occurred during a backup operation.
I. Creating the Registry key:
1. Run REGEDT32.EXE
