Hi,
We recently built a new DPM 2012 SP1 server (4.1.3417.0) and built new File Servers with Server 2012 in order to leverage the Deduplication feature. These File servers are connected using DFSR, so we only back up the primary server at our main office. Unfortunately the data drives on this central server continually come up as inconsistent.
The following is an example of the error obtained:
- The replica of Volume E:\ on DIVFPS-2012A.hfcrd37.local is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check. You can recover data from existing recovery points, but new recovery points cannot be created until the replica is consistent.
- For SharePoint farm, recovery points will continue getting created with the databases that are consistent. To backup inconsistent databases, run a consistency check on the farm. (ID 3106)
- An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process (0x80070020))
I found this in the DPMFilterTrace.log. Not sure what this means. I did have to go into the System Volume Information folder in those drive, but I only added permissions.

I have tried to rebuild the protection group and readd it. Restarted the various servers. Nothing has had an effect on the consistency of this backup. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas?
