Hello,
What is inconsistent, does the group in which networker server is residing 
have completion issues ? or does the group complete and you have no 
bootstrap ? Does the Group\backup server have available resources everyday 
to guarantee completion ?
I have typically, isolated networker server in it's own group & don't have 
any issues, this group runs after all other backups are done.
There may be other ideas from the list members.
Thanks

Re: bootstrap email






Were windows and it's been so inconsistent for us we just complete a
"mminfo -B" out to file and email that instead.

I've read psoni's follow-up post saying there was a comms error, but 
it's also worth pointing out that various versions of NetWorker have 
for some reason failed to work with any additional bootstrap 
notifications. This has been an error limited _only_ (so I've been 
able to tell) to bootstrap notifications. The original notification 
would work, and would continue to work no matter how it was modified. 
Additional notifications however would not fire off at all. This was 
particularly prevalent as a recurring bug in earlier 7.x releases.

(Sounds like it's not happening to psoni in this case, but if anyone 
else has had this problem the solution may be that you have to upgrade 
your NetWorker to get access to secondary bootstrap notifications.)

Cheers,

Preston.
