Anyone ever had any issues with savepnpc where the pstclintsave runs
before the backup job finishes? I just had a backup where the
preclntsave ran OK, but while the backup was still running, the
pstclntsave started up, resulting in an invalid backup. The only
thing I can find in the logs is on the client from the savepnpc.log
file:

Looks like the client wasn't able to contact the server, which
caused it to get confused and think that the backups had finished
for that client because it couldn't get the worklist from the
server. From what I can tell, the backup server was up and running
OK during the backup.
The server version is 7.4 sp1 running on Windows 2003, and the
client is 7.4.1 Build 335 running on AIX.
As you noted in the above, the real problem is actually that the
client lost comms with the server and was unable to determine backup
status, so assumed it was complete and wrapped up what it had to do.
I would suggest that the resolution is more likely to be found in the
daemon logs on the server, system/app event logs on the server, or the
system logs on the AIX client. I.e., the error was not really with
savepnpc, but with something else.
Cheers,
Preston.
