I don't have a specific solution, but I am wondering why your backups
crash out.
We have several FileServer backups that contain several million files on
each of the savesets, and the Full backups take well over 48 hours to
run. They run without issue, although 48 hours in itself is an issue.
We ran into the same problems - nobody wanted to break up the user
directories, or shares, so that the backups would run more quickly, so
that's our reality.
Is there a firewall involved that kills the connection as it gets close
to 24 hours? We run normal Windows backups, not NDMP, so that might be
a difference.

Subject: [Networker] Best Method to backup 3.8T Home Folder with
Networker?
Hello,
I have recently inherited a Networker 7.5.1 enviroment with a 3.8T 3600
user home folder that recides on an NS480 with a fiber attached L700
(7drives LTO3 ,500 slots) Tape Library to use to back it up. The problem
is that no matter how my team has tried to back it up, it takes 30+
hours. I am wondering if anyone else out there has a simular config that
might be willing to save us some brain damage of retrying every method
under the sun, currently we have 3600(1 per user) savesets running NDMP,
which is not great but we atleast get some sucess. My other teammembers
state that trying to do it as 1 saveset just timeouts or crashes at 30+
hours and never finishes. We are currently using checkpoints to do the
daily INC then a weekly full to tape but can't seem to get it in to a
<23 hr window.
Oh and the obvious of breaking them into different file systems has been
shot down.
Thanks
