Just a note ( I have AIX)
And I have seen AIX say bad date
on just command line when it did not like the syntax ( happens to me when I try
‘at’ command)
And unix just does not like those
odd file names.
I don’t use the java gui, but use
the windows remote admin console on my pc. So I have not seen the issue with a
restore.
Just wanted to note I have see the
same behavior at unix command line when it interrupts a command with characters
that are not allowed by unix

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restore issue between Linux gui and Windows gui.
All:
Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master and media server
running NetBackup 6.5.2. Running mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple
windows b/u’s thrown in for good measure.
I primarily run the NetBackup gui on my Linux (RedHat ) workstation but also
run it on my Windows XP laptop. I had to do a restore this morning of a
file that had a ton of special characters in its name. The restore from
my Linux workstation canceled with the message “invalid date specified:”
followed by part of the name of the file. The part of the name of the
file that displayed in the error started in the middle of the name string with
some of the special characters around it. The Activity Monitor showed the
restore canceled with a “client process aborted (50)” error. I tried several
restores from the same directory with files with special characters in them
with the same results. I also ran successful restores for files with
normal non special character names from the same directory from my workstation.
I then opened up a NBU gui session on my windows laptop and successfully ran
the restore of the files with special characters in their names. I
suspect that the special characters in the file name caused some character
translation problem in Linux that made it corrupt the date field, and that
Windows could handle the translation. I’m not going to pursue this as I
do have a workaround but was curious if anyone out there has ever had this same
type of problem.
Thanks in advance…
