Has W2K3 sp1 been installed recently on either server? Lots of security settings in that little bugger, including the infamous MS firewall. I'm still at 7.1.3, but I understand that there are some port changes to NW in 7.2. Firewall could possible account for why it works when initiated from the client, but not when initiated from the server. Nothing in daemon.log or savegrp.log on the Server?

2 free tools I find invaluable are filemon and tcpview from http://www.sysinternals.com/index.shtml tcpview is a real-time netstat and filemon shows actual file io activity. I've used it on several occasions to what just what in the world save.exe is doing

Hi all,

After an upgrade to 7.2 on both my server and clients,
I have one client that doesn't send anything. The
annoying part is that there are no error messages
whatsoever; it does not even time out after 20 hrs!

The client is running W2003 Enterprise server and it
used to run with no problems. Networker Server is
W2003 Standard server.

Probe succeeds, it decodes "All" into the correct
savesets, forms the save command and there it stands.
The group is running, no data is sent, no errors are
sent.  The scheduled backup of the oracle module works
still fine. I can also run plain file backup from the
client.

I have no idea of where to look for the cause of this
problem. netstat -a shows a connection ESTABLISHED
with the client, no FIN_WAITs or similar. No firewalls
in between. The only change in the client for the last
month is the networker client upgrade 2 weeks ago.

I have tried changing All for the save set names, I
have deleted the client entry and recreated it, moved
it to other group, ran with savegrp -vvv -c client
group and there is just no data, and no error.

Anyone has an idea of where else to dig for a
solution? EMCs knowledge base throws no good answers
to my queries.

Thanks !

Aure Cruz
