Within NetBackup, this repair will automatically occur when accessing the
calendar dates of any schedule (Figure 1). This could include the Calendar
Schedule tab or the Exclude dates tab within a backup policy or the disk
staging schedule of a disk storage unit. When such a calendar component is
accessed, it triggers Windows to verify the presence of all the files that are
included in the NetBackup installation. If any of these files are missing,
Windows will automatically launch the installer to repair such missing files.
As a part of the repair, the installer will automatically terminate any
NetBackup services. This will result in the immediate termination of any
active backup or restore jobs. (emphasis is mine)
Hope none of the Windows users out there want to use the Calendar scheduler. =)
And if that technote doesn't generate nightmares by itself, picture what
happens when your NOC or Operations people stumble upon this issue at 2am in
the middle of your largest backup window. Fun fun fun.
Yet another reason to use UNIX Masters.....
