[Veritas-bu] Maximum file count?

Ryan,

This doesn't sound normal, place a service request on this, it sounds like
the bpbkar isn't the correct version for what you are running and it maybe
caching all the files during backup.  Support can get you sorted out on this
one.

Also while moving to higher versions of NBU and SM, make sure you keep in
sync with NBU/MM and Storage Migrator and VxFS.  NBU/MM 3.2 uses SM 3.2 or
3.2.5 and NBU/MM 3.4 requires SM 3.4 with VxFS 3.3.3

It's all spelled out in the release notes for each release.

If Mark Erikson, Veritas is listening, he would be the man to answer your
Storage Migrator questions.

Have you opened a support call for this one?

I'm using NBU 3.1.1 (will upgrade to 3.2 next week, then 3.4 next month)
on Solaris.  I'm backing up a very small volume on a Solaris client,
only 460 MB--the problem I believe is that its a Storage Migrator
filesystem with many file 'stubs'.  The problem is that the backup hangs
on one particular directory *every* time.  This particular directory has
14,560 files in it.  As of a couple weeks ago it would finish quickly.
I've let it run over weekends with no success.  It never gives an error
code, it always just runs, but I have to kill it because its in
production and it sometimes takes as much as 25% cpu.

Questions:

Am I just not letting it run long enough?

What is the maximum file count limit?

Will 3.2 or 3.4 help me out?


Regards,

RCA
