Is your Windows policy defined as "Windows-NT" Type and not Standard?
If you've set it as Standard it will back up but the client won't see
the images to restore from as it will default to Windows-NT.  You can
change it from the client and it will see the images .... and I hope,
restore from them, as I've just been tripped up by this :-(.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] strange behaviour windows client


I am running netbackup 4.5MP6 on solaris connected to an L25 tape unit. 
I do backup a few win2000 clients as well as solaris clients.

I just added another windows client the other day which is actually 
windows2003. I added it as an xp client as first ( when adding to the 
policy ) but have now changed it to win2000 as the others in case it 
solved the problem im going to ask about. It didnt.

What is happening is trying a test restore i see no image listed under 
the backups images bit, or if i use a date range it says no files.

Looking at the activity monitor all backups have worked and under 
advanced tab is says it has backed up a few gig and took a decent time 
to finish, so it doesnt point to not backing anything up.

If i do a bpimagelist -client <client> -hoursago 24 for e.g it comes 
back with nothing. But if i do bpimagelist -hoursago 24 |grep -i image

i can see an image for my client.

Has anyone seen this where it seems there is no restore or image for the

client, but things point towards it backing up.

Cheers
