Orphan object(s) in the backup specification

Warning message from DP

Warning: While reading mount point information, Data Protector found 2 backup object(s), which reference inexistent mountpoint(s) on client system 'winserver123.abc.com'.
Do you want to leave this(these) orphan object(s) in the backup specification?

Reason:

  • Maybe a shared drive that's no longer available on the workstation or were reclaimed.
  • If it exists, it's not accessible by the DP software. In such case the data list needs to be updated/changed on what needs to be backed up.
Solution:
  • Login to the client workstation and check from the Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk Management
  • Check the problematic mountpoint exists and in healthy state. If it doesn't, remove the mountpoint from the backup specification and save it.
