Check to see if you have a problem with nbsl. This is the interface between admin interfaces and netbackup. See if the daemon is running and if it core dumped.

There have been known issues with it.

 

 

I am not using OpsCenter to attempt the restore.  OpsCenter has stopped connecting for some reason, but I will worry about when I get the restore issue resolved.  I am trying to do the restore through the wizard (NBU Admin Console/Windows UI).  I still get the “cannot connect to nbpem” error when I try to do a restore.  The nbpem appears to be running but I started both the nbjm and nbpem from the command line just to be safe.  I even restarted the db (admin_cmd –stop/start) in the hopes that it would clear out anything that could be causing the problem.  The restore worked fine yesterday, when I did the Full restore, but this morning I started getting the error when I tried some of the incrementals.

There is no difference in doing an Incremental restore versus a Full. Doing a restore does not suspend the scheduler, so I am unsure why that message is coming up, but make sure nbpem is running. In my experience (mostly prior to 7.0.1), nbpem can be down and you just won't see any jobs queue up, so you could still run your restore anyway.

Question back to you: are you trying to restore from OpsCenter? I'm not sure that you can, I haven't used it yet. If so, then try another method (CLI, Java UI, Windows UI) and see if youre results are different.

Thanks Nathan.
 
One more quick question…I am trying to restore the incremental backups that  ran after the last full backup, but I get this error: “cannot connect to nbpem ERR – Failed to suspend scheduler.”  Are the steps for restoring incremental different than restoring full backups?  I’m using the wizard and it claims to find the required media, but then fails out with the above error.  I am running NBU 7.0.1 on Server 2003.
 
I was able to get the Full Backup to restore without error yesterday.

Is there a generic login for the OpsCenter GUI for NBU 7.0?
