To do daily, weekly and monthly backups, we have 3 client definitions
for each client.  On any one night, two of these are running a "skip"
schedule and the third is actually doing the backups.  

 

Up until v7.2.2 this worked great.  Now we're at v7.4.2 and I'm seeing a
bunch of clients giving this error:

 

savegrp: NWclient:All save was never started

  NWclient: All                          level=skip,      0 KB 00:00:00
0 files

savegrp: NWclient:index index was never started

  NWclient: index:NWclient                    level=skip,      0 KB
00:00:00      0 files

 

 

It looks as though NW is not understanding/interpreting the schedule
correctly.  This is not happening on all our clients, but it is
happening on about 100 (of about 400) of them.  Has anyone ever seen
this?  Do you have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

 

The server is running Solaris 10 and the clients impacted are a variety
of operating systems.  The clients are running NW v7.1.x or v7.2.x (this
is true for successful and unsuccessful clients).

 

Thanks.

Teresa
