stsadm farm backup exits with ffffffff
- by overbyte
I have a SP2007 farm that uses stsadm through Scheduled Tasks to run farm backups. It always worked fine, however it ran for a couple of seconds one day and just exited with code ffffffff. Looked at Event Viewer, the Sharepoint logs themselves and nothing unusual happened at the time this job ran. No files were created so an spbackup.log doesn't exist.
Searched the net for batch files and STSADM return codes but the error message doesn't even exist.
Any other recommended place to look for issues like this?
