Ntbackup Drive Verify Reports 8009 Errors

NTBackup.exe is a built-in command-line Windows backup utility. The tool empowers you to perform backups on an external storage media in proprietary backup file format- BKF. To verify if backup job is successfully completed without any errors, you are recommended to select Verify After Backup. Doing so checks the backup status and marks associated entry in Application Event Log. If BKF file is corrupted, you can analyze it through these entries and take appropriate measures. A corrupted BKF file can be repaired using an efficient bkf repair tool that could repair and restore the damaged Windows backup file.

For an instance, you might come across the below entries in Application Event Log:

ID : 8009
Source : NTBackup
Type : Information
Category : None
Decription : End Verify to 'C.'

Or

ID : 8009
Source : NTBackup
Type : Error
Category : None
Decription : End Verify to 'C.'

These entries are logged only if you have selected Verify After Backup option.

Cause

These entries are logged when one of the following conditions is true:

Some changes to the backup file (BKF file) have been added or deleted since you have taken the backup
Backup file is corrupted

If Verify After Backup is selected, NTBackup each time verifies the backup file after the process is complete. If it finds any differences between the tape and drive files, it reports errors, as above. However, if there are no differences, the event logs give success messages. To get more information about such errors, you can view Backup.log file.

Solution

You should regularly practice to view these logs in order to prevent data loss due to invalid backup. However, to deal with such problems, you should consider these recommendations:

If no data loss has occurred till, you should perform the backup again
Restore the lost data from another copy of backup
To repair the damaged BKF file, you can use a third-party bkf repair tool to carefully diagnose and repair the file. BKF Repair software are powerful utilities to repair an inaccessible and corrupted BKF file, while maintaining data integrity.
