Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide
Backup fails with Win32 error 0x2
The scheduled backup of a physical node fails, if the backup start time of the virtual server and the physical node is the same. The following error is displayed:
WINDOWS ROLES AND FEATURES: ERROR: Failed to save Backup Comp Doc, C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\tmp\backcomp.xml
90110:save: save of 'WINDOWS ROLES AND FEATURES:\' to server '<server_name>' failed: The system cannot find the file specified.(Win32 error 0x2)
To resolve the issue, ensure that the backup start time of the virtual server and the physical node is different.
