Hello,
We're struggling with restore problem involving the following
environment:
2 NetApps with OnTap 7.01 (both the Data Server and Tape Server)
EMC/Legato NetWorker 7.1.3 b404 on a Solaris 9 NetWorker server
Qualstar TLS-8466 with 4 LTO-3 Tape drives
Backups were performed using NDMP 3 without DAR enabled
Restored data is 111GB of a 600GB saveset.
We have been trying to restore a directory from full backups taken
ever week
over the last six months without success. The restores always fail
on the
last volume of the saveset when an EOF mark is encountered before
the end of
the data.
NetWorker reported the backups were successful in the logs, and the
entire
directory structure is recreated when the restore begins - place 0-
byte
files in all the correct locations. NetWorker's media database
indicates
the savesets were not incomplete or aborted.
Charlie;
Fortunately, I have never experienced that problem, but I can't help
but wonder if you are experiencing a situation that warranted Legato
to issue a technical alert dated April 4, 2005. This may be a long-
shot, but try asking the folks at Legato who are handling your case
about LGTpa69733 which is cited in the technical alert and if this
issue is the source of the problem you are experiencing.
If you have access to EMC's tech support web site, the shortened URL
for this technical alert is
