Hyperbac: Operating System Error 31

(warning: this post could get lengthy....)

OK - a bit of info first....
x86, WS2003SP2 + SS2005 (build 5266)
SQL Server is running under local system account.

Hyperbac 5.4.1.5 using .BKD extension, zip compatible. (licenced)
Hyperbac is running under local system account.

Backup drive has authority to write files.

Backup is failing on a 47Gb database and I cannot work out why.

Turn off Hyperbac and the backup works OK. Turn it on - fail.
Hyperbac works perfectly when on databases >10Mb.
Service is used on other servers for 200+Gb databases and no problems.

Added exclusion for .BKD to virus protection program - fail.
Shut down service for virus protection program - fail.
Run Hyperbac under different service owner (with admin auth) - fail.
Explicitly grant drive & directory auths to userid - fail.

There are a multitude of error messages and the "Operating System Error 31" makes me wonder how I keep managing to find the new age versions of "Syntax Error" :(

There are heaps of error code 112 out there - disk space - this is not a problem as the space free far exceeds the size of the database and will allow a non-Hyperbac backup to be written (~34Gb)

ANY information would be appreciated - thanks!

    I have run a backup through changing the backup option from Compressed(Zip) to Compressed(Fast) and it worked.

    The fact that it is ZIP compatible is telling me that it is linked to the virus scanner and the exclusions have not been set up correctly by the server admins.

    Looks like I was blaming McAfee for this problem but I managed to switch off the scanning engine and the problem continues.

    Still running with the HBC2 extension but would really like to get the ZIP compatible option running without spending any more time on it.... :(

    Thanks for your posts. Unfortunately, this is a known issue when backing up and using the zip format on some systems.

    We do have it logged in our systems, and I believe that we will be releasing another version of the tool in the next few weeks that we hope will address the issue for you.

    In the meantime, the workaround is to continue backing up to a different file format, like you are.

    HTH!

    Just wanted to post here so I can be kept up to date - I'm assuming a note will be added to the thread when a permanent fix is available.

    We have the very same issue on our SQL 2000/Windows 2003 machine. Once the backup file to be compressed gets over a certain size, the backup fails. In our setup we are using HyperBac to compress the Differential backups, when the DIFF was 6GB it was fine, when it was around 15GB or so the backup failed (using zip compression for portability).

    Incidentally we were using the HyperBac on our SQL 2005/Windows 2003 server with similar backup sizes and zip compression, and all was well.
