[Veritas-bu] Netbackup client failing on daily incremental but ok on the weekly fulls; weird





Good afternoon everyone,

    I thought I would send this out and see what the group has to say regarding this.  I have the following configuration:

1.  W2K SP2 Netbackup 5.1 master
2.  W2K SP1 Netbackup 5.1 MP4 client
3.  Weekly full backup job and daily incremental job
4.  Simple OS level backup

    The problem I have is that the weekly full job works fine on this client while the daily incremental fails.  Time doesn't seem to be a factor as I have tried different times for running the incremental.  Both the client and server can communicate just fine during the incremental and there is no firewall, filter, etc... between the two.  In the event viewer I did find the following:

2/16/08 - Daily incremental backup fails
2/16 - 7:48:?pm - backup start
2/16 - 7:48:27pm - Volume Shadow Copy svc start
2/16 - 7:48:27pm - Volume Shadow Copy svc running
2/16 - 7:48:33pm - MS Shadow Copy provider svc start
2/16 - 7:48:33pm - MS Shadow Copy provider svc running
2/16 - 8:31:31pm - Volume Shadow Copy svc stop
2/16 - 8:34:32pm - MS Shadow Copy provider svc stop
2/16 - 9:01:46pm - WMI Performance adapter svc start
2/16 - 9:01:46pm - WMI Performance adapter svc running
2/16 - 9:04:00pm - WMI Performance adapter svc stop
2/16 - 10:16:44pm - WMI Performance adapter svc start
2/16 - 10:16:44pm - WMI Performance adapter svc running
2/16 - 10:19:00pm - WMI Performance adapter svc stop
2/16 - 10:19:44pm - WMI Performance adapter svc start
2/16 - 10:19:44pm - WMI Performance adapter svc running
2/16 - 10:22:00pm - WMI Performance adapter svc stop
2/17 - 11:00:00am - backup fails

While the weekly full looks like this:

2/17/08 - Weekly full backup successful
2/17 - 7:48:16pm - backup start
2/17 - 7:48:24pm - Volume Shadow Copy svc start
2/17 - 7:48:25pm - Volume Shadow Copy svc running
2/17 - 7:48:32pm - MS Shadow Copy provider svc start
2/17 - 7:48:32pm - MS Shadow Copy provider svc running
2/17 - 8:38:53pm - WMI Performance adapter svc start
2/17 - 8:38:53pm - WMI Performance adapter svc running
2/17 - 8:41:00pm - WMI Performance adapter svc stop
2/18 - 8:12:50am - backup complete
2/18 - 8:15:44am - Volume Shadow Copy svc stop
2/18 - 8:18:43am - MS Shadow Copy provider svc stop

The only thing I can think of, and I haven't found a link just yet is that there is a problem with the VSS/WMI services that might be causing this.  Other than that, I can't really find a good c
orrelation.  Any hints anyone?
