Kind of sounds like a hung mountpoint to me (i.e. I've had similar
issues,
and found that doing a "df -k" on the client machine doesn't complete in
that situation.)

I have a NW 7.2.1 data zone with a Unix master server and a Unix network
client, both Solaris 9, on the same subnet, both on gigabit copper
network, no network errors or collisions

I have never been able to get a successful backup of / (yet /var works
everytime)

I've tried everything, deleting the index, backing up from the client,
deleting the client resource, upgrading to 7.2.2 on the client, putting
a .nsr file to skip directories, yet everytime I get about 14MB and then
the error "lost connection to server, exiting"

Of course EMC support 'has never seen this' and has done nothing more
than the obvious

Has anyone seen this or have suggestions?

thanks in advance
