Backup Exec failing on corrupt files

Obviously corrupt files are a problem of their own, but to get past them and backup everything you can, go here in the registry (on the BU Exec server obviously)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SYMANTEC\Backup Exec for Windows\Backup Exec\Engine\Backup
the key is called Failed Jobs On Corrupt Files
if its not there, create it.
Edit > Add  Value
Value name = Fail Jobs On Corrupt Files
Data Type = DWORD
Value Data = 0

That's it, set the Value Data to 0 and the job will complete.  Corrupt files will be skipped.
