Re: [Networker] backup of nas shares...

Hello,
The fact that you are able to backup some file systems leads me to believe
the configuration is almost correct and the time-outs on the group is
causing the backups to fail.
Also note that NDMP only supports level backup to my knowledge, forcing
incremental via group attribute may result in FULL backups.
I am glad you have a completed backups, make sure you also set correct
application parameters in client attribute, this are documented under
admin guide.

NDMP and not having very good luck so far. I was just wondering about your
comment about netapp/networker combination. My tape drive is attached to
my windows networker server. Most times when I run a backup a few volumes
will complete successfully and then it seems that something goes to sleep
and the tape device sits at writing/idle.
NetApp's dump command can take a lot of time before it will start
sending out data. The time is proportional to the number of files on the
volume. On a volume (connected to a FAS3050) which had ~5M files the
backup failed when the group inactivity time was 120 minutes and I had
to set it to 0 before I could get the volume to run full backups.
