I've never used the SQL module but in the Exchange module there is a definite 
difference in the amount of data backed up between a full and incremental 
backup.

I didn't have this problem until we moved from 7.5.2 to 7.6.1.  The reason we 
moved to 7.6.1 is our NetWorker Server is running Windows 2008 R2 x64 which 
isn't well supported under 7.5.2.

I thought you couldn't do an INCR backup when using the SQL Module - that
you would always get a FULL backup, regardless of level setting. And that
the EXCHANGE Modulet worked the same way - always a FULL backup of the
Info Store. Reason being that both are database files.

Am I wrong about that?

FWIW - I run 7.5.2 (upgraded from 7.4.x) and use the SQL Module (both 32
and 64bit), and have not seen any issues like you describe.

I am running 7.5.3.2 and have been experiencing SQL backup hangs ever
since I upgraded to this version from 7.4.4 over 3 months ago.  I have
seen hangs on log file (incr) backups of SQL and failures on differential
and full backups with errors being i/o 995 errors.  We have not been able
to isolate the issue as of yet, and EMC engineering has been looking into
this for some time.  This does not happen with traditional file level
backups for the same servers, only with SQL.  We can backup SQL to a local
file and then backup that file with no errors.  We use the SQL Module.  I
have tried lots of combinations of older SQL clients and older NW client
versions and are now down to only a couple of clients that have this
behavior having downgraded to SQL Module versions 5.0 (for SQL 2005) or
5.1 (for SQL 2008).  This issue happens across all Microsoft OS versions,
all SQL versions (2005 and 2008) and both 32 and 64 bit.

I know this isn't the same issue as yours, Dave, but I am curious if
anyone else out there is seeing similar issues with backups
hanging/erroring with i/o 995.

Subject: [Networker] 7.6.1 - Savesets hang

We are running NetWorker 7.6.1 Server on Windows 2008 R2 Server.  This was
installed a week ago last Friday.  Our old server was 7.5.2.

I know this has been discussed before and I've spent some time searching
the archives and the EMC PowerLink Knowledge Base without much luck.

The problem is that on a somewhat random basis different savesets hang
during backups, usually the bigger ones that take longer to backup.  I can
often restart them by going onto the client and killing the save process
but sometimes they hang again.  Our clients are a mixture of 7.5 and 7.6
which doesn't seem to make a difference to the problem.

Can anyone offer some help to me with the problem?

Thanks,
