Error description

  • If a corrupted file is encountered during a backup it may cause
    the backup to stop instead of skipping the file and continuing.

Problem conclusion

  • The client has been fixed so the Windows return code 1359
    (ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR) will be mapped to RC_ACCESS_DENIED. So,
    the error message is logged for the file, and the backup
    continues with the next object.
