If you try to back your data up to a destination volume running Windows 2003 Server using Backup 3.0.x, the backup may fail to complete. The backup may appear to have completed successfully, but the backup file's extension will be named incorrectly:
Home Folder – 2005.09.01-18.26.11.495.backXX
instead of using the proper file extension:
Home Folder – 2005.09.01-18.26.11.495.IncrementalBackup
This issue can occur if Norton Anti-Virus' Auto-Protect feature is enabled and if the destination volume is running Windows 2003 Server with Active Directory enabled.
To resolve this issue, disable Norton Anti-Virus' Auto-Protect feature before you start the backup. For assistance with disabling Auto-Protect, please consult the documentation included with Norton Anti-Virus or contact Symantec.
