I started having issues backing up a client. I uninstalled the client, re-installed, re-activated and it still will not backup. I keep receiving the following errors:
avtar Error <0000>: flushPendingExtents: encountered an error writing existing file data via synthesis now (Log #2)
avtar Error <0000>: met the limit on t0 refs in an t1 segment failed when writing to a file in a container for backup, length 72 bytes at offset 7208057188, remaining bytes 72 (Log #2)
avtar FATAL <5352>: MAIN: Unhandled standard exception failed when writing to a file in a container for backup, length 72 bytes at offset 7208057188, remaining bytes 72 (Log #2)
so I then kicked off an on-demand backup and choose to 'check client-side caches and report inconsistencies' and also 'check and repair client-side caches' to see if I could get any other information as to what is going on. I then got the following error:
avtar Error <17917>: Unable to validate the cache. To validate, do not set the DDR options. (Log #1)
avtar FATAL <17964>: Backup is incomplete because file "/STAGING/b98b1a0b853f503a7211db6f2d12eff3bf9e82c6/BACKUP-F3C27EFC42E00B390C32BDA353BA6F1D39CE2D8D/ddr_files.xml" is missing (Log #1)
this is more meaningful information for me but now I am not sure what to do with it
I guess just retire the client and let the current backups expire at their current expiration and then just re-add the client?
: Failed to close file container for backup, File handle is stale failed closing container '/STAGING/22c74ea5b63e79d724859840a46588d556f0a731/BACKUP-2123ADE6B43DA75B1EC8D8808C236F7905BCE49D/298601467E8FA7E42339F5CE4B75AC4ACFEC7E79' for backup, DDR result code: 5057, desc: File handle is stale (Log #1)
For the guest level backup of an windows server where we see this error has VSS system state backup and filesystem backup triggers at same time. (However one will be Q'd). Is this a concern for this error.
Is there any other way to resolve the issue from avamar side rather than deleting the cache files, because we have nearly 100 servers which is showing this error.

Hello,
Please try to rename or delete file cache.
