Re: [Networker] No backup activity

Hi,

I fought with this issue last year and could ensure the following as a
procedure to resolve this. Now I have made the following as a set
configuration wherever installing OFM -

1.      Backup Inactivity Time - 30 minutes.
2.      Write Inactivity Period - 1 sec.
3.      Synchronization Time - 300 sec.
4.      Create a file nsr.dir with contents as "skip: *.*" in the OFM
installation folder.
5.      In the OFM's ignore set, include the following folders & sub-folders
-
        a.      Installation folder of Legato Networker.
        b.      C:\$EXTEND\* (One entry per drive).
        c.      C:\WINNT\TEMP*.
        d.      C:\WINNT\TEMP\*.
        e.      C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{user.domain}\LOCAL
SETTINGS\TEMP*.
        f.      C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{user.domain}\LOCAL
SETTINGS\TEMP\*.

Subject: [Networker] No backup activity

Hello all,
I am experiencing a problem with W2K3 systems and st bernard open file
manager.
 
We have a server with:
C drive
E drive
F drive
 
I back it up using 7.1.2 and OFM. OFM excludes the C drive but handles the
other volumes. 
 
The first night following a reboot, the system backs up fine. The next
evening, all OFM handled volumes won't backup.
 
The backups don't fail, they just never start. A save.exe process is started
on the client, the group details show the 2 volumes as being unfinished, but
nothing else ever happens.
 
The only way I have been able to kill the save.exe processes on the client
and get a backup to run again is by rebooting their server. When I disable
OFM, this problem goes away. Of course, then their open files don't get
backed up.
 
Has anyone seen this type of behavior before? Any ideas? tips? suggestions?
