We are experiencing recurring replica failures on multiple protection groups. Each time we encounter this failure, it is on a folder that no longer exists on the backup target, and the error references the DPM server's volume. For instance, in the example below, the folder "...\mrojas01" no longer exists on the target because that user has left the company and their data has been removed. However, DPM for some reason throws a fit and aborts the recovery point and marks the replica as inconsistent. I can go manually create the folder again on the source, run the backup and it will then succeed. However, as soon as it encounters another user that no longer exists, it will fail there. Help!
