Re: [Networker] Such a long time to recover a save set ?

 
Tested a recovery on the server itself? Backup server back to backup server? 
Did you try a recovery to /tmp from the client? The client's network should not 
be an issue unless it was an issue prior to the disk crash? What filesystems 
were on the disk that crashed? Do you have networker servers file updated? The 
network/switch mismatch would not prevent backups or recoveries it would just 
slow them to a crawl. If that was the issue the recover should still start but 
move very slowly.

I've just tested in recovering on a disk on the server itself and it starts 
immediately.

So I suppose that it's a network problem. It could be a problem with half 
duplex/full duplex between client and server where backups are OK but not the 
recover.

I'll let you know.

Regards

Daniel
