Re: [Networker] backup of / failing
2006-11-21 13:31:33
I had the exact same problem, but was never able to determine where the
problem was. I did get around it with adding a secondary network
interface on the box and configuring the backups to use it. I don't
know why this fixed it though. Both interfaces are on the same subnet,
and go to the same switch. And after it started working with the new
setup, I tried switching the cables and the switch ports that they were
plugged into. Always with the same result, the backups on the primary
interface failed and the backups on the secondary interface never had a
problem. With no errors reported on the server, the client, or the
switch other than the lost connection exiting message.

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
