CA Arcserve version 9.0 and IE 7

I ran across an interesting error on a client's server this past week. Their nightly backup had begun crashing without any reported cause. The results of the last back-up simply said crashed.

The logs did not show any clear reason why this would be happening. Other than they had several instances of “Bad media” reported in some of their last actual back-up attempts.
