I have just discovered an issue with our Networker backups and wondered if
anyone else had experienced this.
We have Networker 7.5.1 running on a windows W2K3 SP2 server with a pair of
LTO4 Libraries attached. We run incremental backups daily with a full once a
week. Because of the nature of our business these backups are kept forever.
When trying to recover files using Networker Administrator some backup entries
are showing a modified time of January 1970, and a file size of zero, despite
the fact the backups "passed". When you try and recover the recovery fails with
the following;
Recovering files of client '<<Client Server>>' from server '<<Backup Server>>'
to client '<<Backup Server>>'.
Recovering 1 file from F:\DCDOCS01\USER\DWSLIB\PETER_CA\SPD\ into D:\Restores
Requesting 1 file(s), this may take a while...
D:\Restores\71k_s02_.XLS
32220:winworkr: `D:\Restores\71k_s02_.XLS' grew by 2098336 bytes during save
Received 0 file(s) from NSR server `<<Backup Server>>'
Recover errors with 1 file(s)
Recover completion time: 07/01/2011 11:58:20
I am trawling the logs but can't find much as of yet.
The backups effected appear to be random and change depending on the server and
the volume. For example Server_A F:\ volume has 4 backup dates effected, yet
Server_A G:\ volume has 7 different backups effected. Server_B has 4 different
dates effected, whilst Server_C is not affected at all as far as I can see.
This appears to have started in September 2010, and occurred as recently as 2
weeks ago.
This obviously causes doubt as to the validity of our backups until a recovery
is attempted.
I personally suspect an indexing issue, but what specifically??
Anybody experienced this?
Thanks Campo
