Do you have a firewall between the media server and the client that  might be 
timing out the client?

The place to start is toe turn on logging.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] bpbackup and socket read error (23)

Hi, I'm having some problems with a client initiated backup. I hope you can 
help.
I have a 6.5.6 windows 2003 x64 master server and two Red Hat linux 
(2.6.18-164.el5) client - there are many more clients, however these two were 
built at the same time and are supposed to be almost identical.

Server scheduled backups work on both clients. However on one client bpbackup 
fails:

[root@xxxxx bin]# ./bpbackup  -w /etc/group EXIT STATUS 23: socket read failed

Also, the clients properties in the admin console show v6.5 only. I've 
definately installed 6.5.6 on this client. I even reinstalled the client from 
scratch and still get the same result.

Where can I start looking?

Many thanks

Andy
