Changed lines 1-31 from:
Describe NTBackupFailed here.
to:
!NTBackup failed

!!Example:

@@[=The ntbackup process failed (return code -1073741819). Please examine the attached log file for an explanation.=]@@

However, the backup log appears to indicate that the backup completed successfully.

!!Explanation:

!!Causes and Resolution:

We believe this to be a bug in Windows Backup.

One of our resellers found the source of the problem:

@@[=FYI - turns out this was actually caused by backing up a network directory by specifying UNC format.=]@@

Thanks to Jon Lawrence for this information.

To resolve this issue, try mapping your network drives and backing up your network data through a mapped drive.

For more information about mapped network drives and BackupAssist, please refer to this white paper:
