Ron:

Tim's suggestion that the NBU backup process is running may be the culprit
even on your W2K server.

If that's not the case, I'd create some logging directories.

bpdbm
bpsched

on the master server.

There is one caveat in creating the bpdbm directory.  In order to stop
logging to this directory you must first stop the bpdbm process, remove the
directory then restart the process.

Did this machine happen to crash anytime before these three days?

    This could happen if your database backup was still running. I used to
(3.2) have an occational situation where the db backup would run but leave
processes around and as a result none of my backups would run but I could do
restores. Sound familiar?

    I haven't seen it since we went to 3.4 but here is what I used to do to
fix it

    run the K77netbackup on the master
    do a ps -ef | grep bp and see if anything is still running (shouldn't
but when this occurred there always was)
    do a kill -9 on any remaining bp processess
    run the S77netbackup on the master to restart

    PS. Even running bp.kill_all didn't get rid of the processes. Using the
kill -9 was the only way that worked for me.

    I am running Netbackup Datacenter 3.4 and for the last 3 days, none of
my backups will kick off, not even manual backups.  I can restore, but no
backups.  I can't even generate logs.  Any ideas??
