The media drive reported the following error: The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitation [C0000427]

The error comes from Windows and we can do nothing about it. The error is defined by Microsoft as follows:

0xc0000427 STATUS_FILE_SYSTEM_LIMITATION
0x299 (or 665 or 0x80070299) ERROR_FILE_SYSTEM_LIMITATION

Make sure you are not using FAT as it doesn't support files bigger than 4GB. If you are using NTFS, it can be a bug in Windows, see for example KB957065 or KB967351. What kind of hardware does your "servername" belong to?

Hi

I am using NTFS filesystem. The HW is an Server2012 R2 running on an R710 Dell server. This server is connected to an PowerVault MD3260 for storage.

I assume that "\\servername" is a share on PowerVault MD3260. If so, then I don't think that the version of Windows on your DPM server or the type of its filesystem matter.

What do matter are the operating system and the file system on PowerVault MD3260 (unless PowerVault drives appear as local drives on your DPM server and the "\\servername" share is actually a local share, i.e. "servername" is the name of your DPM server).

This server is connected to an PowerVault MD3260 for storage.

How is it connected, precisely? How did you create the "\\servername" share?

It seems that splitting the protection groups in smaller groups solves almost every error messages. I had some protection groups around 20 TB and they sometimes failed. The tapes did not exceed 4 TB but did failed anyway.
Some fails anyway but it is not a big issue anymore.

You may want to update the firmware of your PowerVault.
