 After installing the Solaris NetBackup patch 108261-06, there's a 
 script which you should run to update the known client types.  It's
 located in /usr/openv/netbackup/update_clients.  This script basically
 sets up links for Solaris 7/8 sparc/x86 (which actually just point
 to the specific Solaris 2.6 client).  After running the 'update_clients'
 script they should show up in the list of know client types.

 In terms of the network timeout during a backup, I would run through the
 procedure listed in the Trouble Shooting Guide.  Try using 'bpclntcmd -pn'
 or 'bpclntcmd -sv' from the client to see if it can talk to the server.

 Anyway, hope this helps.
