Re: [Networker] Client backs up, but index has problems...

Problem seems to be solved. Unlike any of the other systems being backed
up, the system in question had the fully-qualified and old domain name
set with the "hostname" command. So it was the client itself that was
mucking it up.
All the savesets were under the old domain name, so the index wasn't
cross-checking properly.
I deleted and recreated the client under the old domain name, and it
seems happier for it.
They are a bit too paranoid with the system to change the hostname
locally... :(

This is a new one on me, as I once again inherit someone else's
Networker server...
I have a Networker 7.2.Build.172 server, backing up a Linux client with
the 6.1.Build.186 client installed (I'll see about getting that
upgraded). The server seems to be talking to the client fine, and is
backing it up. The only warning is about the reverse DNS (something else
to look in to), but its not affecting the backup itself.
The past few nights, its been complaining "No full backups of this save
set were found in the media database" and proceeds to do a full backup.
Yesterday I checked the Index for the GUI, although it was about 100%
utilized at over 2GB, no save sets volumes were listed. Also, the save
sets were all marked "E" (recyclable), as if they expired right after
being completed.
Figuring a possible corrupted index, I ran nsrck -L6, and it wiped out
the index completely, saying "no valid save times". That was fine with me.
It ran again last night, and this time I expected the "No full backups"
message...but the same problem existed. Running a nsrck -L2 didn't see
any issues:
nsrck: checking index for 'foo.bar.com'
nsrck: /nsr/index/foo.bar.com contains 170256 records occupying 25 MB
nsrck: Completed checking 1 client(s)
But running an -L3 wiped it out again:
nsrck: checking index for 'foo.bar.com'
nsrck: WARNING: no valid save times for client 'foo.bar.com' - cross
check all (7) indexes
nsrck: /nsr/index/foo.bar.com contains 0 records occupying 0 KB
nsrck: Completed checking 1 client(s)
Any idea what is going on here? Why am I getting a corrupt index off the
bat? Everything seems to be fine on the server...
