Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • You use the Windows Server Backup utility to back up files on a volume regularly.

  • Files are created or renamed in a certain short period of time in snapshot creation.


In this scenario, the file is not backed up, and the backup operation finishes in the incomplete backup status.

If you use the Windows Server Backup utility for incremental backups, the next backup operation is a full backup instead of an incremental backup. Therefore, the chain of incremental backup sets is broken.

Cause

This issue occurs because the Wbengine.exe service does not appropriately handle files that are created or renamed in a certain period of time.
