Hi Jeff.

For the 41 issue for a specific client, there a few items you want to check:

1) With that many files, you will want to increase the CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT 
value with the bp.conf file residing on the client. By default, it is 300 and 
you may want to try 900, etc.

2) On the client, perform the following steps:

- Add "VERBOSE = 5" to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.
- Create the "bpbkar" directory within /usr/openv/netbackup/logs (on the 
client).
- Create a touch file called "bpbkar_path_tr" within the /usr/openv/netbackup 
directory (on the client).
- Run job twice.

Check the bpbkar log file that is created. Does the backup job stop on the same 
file during both runs??? If so, add it to an exclude list. If not, you do not 
have a file or filesystem issue.

3) If 1 or 2 doesn't fix issue, check "netstat -I" (on client). Need to make 
sure Ierrs and/or Oerrs are not increasing during the backup job. If they are 
increasing, you have a client NIC configuration issue. Any disconnect of the 
backup stream (from client to media server) will cause the 41 error.

Hope this info assists you.

Mitch

Hi Guys,
I'm running NB 6 MP5 on Win 2003, have been trying to configure a samba share 
as a disk storage unit and it sees the storage fine, just whenever I try to do 
a backup to it, I get invalid STS storage and failed to mount.
I've tried both using the UNC path and a mapped drive letter when defining the 
DSU, but that didn't make a difference. HELP!

Thanks,

- Yang

Anybody out there using D2D from ExaGrid along with NBU?

How has your experience been?  Speed to Backup/Restore?
Using Replication between sites?

What kind of compression are you seeing?
Any info regarding their management & scalability?


Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

Greetings,

I have a file system that has started to fail full backups on a regular basis.  
The incremental backups run fine.  This file system is on a hpux
11.11 server,  There is only 228 gig of used data, but it does have ~5.5m 
inodes in use.  The backup fails with a status 41.  This server has other file 
systems on it with more used inodes and more used space, and they don't have 
this problem.  I've run the backup at various times when I know the  network 
and file system load is low, but it doesn't change.

The current backup environment is 5.1 mp2.  It was supposed to be retired by 
now which is why it hasn't been upgraded.

The reason I want to see what files it is backing up before it fails is that 
all of the backups seem to backup just over 195 gig before they fail.  The file 
counts vary quite a bit.  I'm expecting that I may have a very poorly laid out 
structure with hundreds of thousands of files in one directory that is causing 
this problem.  This may also be caused by some timeout if it does hit this, but 
I haven't been able to find it in any of the log files.

I was able to recovery an image from the tape listing by running bpmedialist 
-mcontents -m bk7159.  That returns image massey_1199305335.  I've tried doing 
the following bpflist command and get the no entity found

bpflist -backupid massey_1199305335 -d 01/02/2008 -e 01/03/2008 -client massey

I also tried running the bpflist this way and get no entity found again.  This 
format works when I give it a different client name and pattern, so I know I 
have the syntax correct.

bpflist -client massey -st FULL -d 01/02/2008 00:00:00 -rl 1 -pattern 
/mnt/wizard

I'm guessing some of this isn't working because the backup did not complete and 
there isn't a valid image for it.

Any help you can provide that will show me where the backup is failing would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff
