I can't get on the console as I don't have access, so I can't get the versions.
I'll say this though, I just got off the phone with Veritas and we traced back
our steps. It turns out the NetWare admins did an 'emergency' upgrade from
5.1SP2a to SP3a because of an IP/winsock problem (we're doing a mass cutover
from IPX to native IP).
The solution they gave us was to simply do `smdr new`. It seems to fix the
problem. After doing this I was able to backup 1.2 GB in about 10 minutes (with
no errors in the BPCD log) whereas it took in excess of 1 hour to do the same
last night. We'll see how its going for the weekend fulls, but I think our
problem is fixed.

What NetWare OS version are you running. From the command console do a m
tsa400* or m tsa500* or m tsa600*
m smdr*
and let me know what versions you find.

We are having _serious_ backup problems with all our NetWare clients. As an
example, on a large NetWare file server, the NetBackup client is backing up only
12 GB for a full when the last full backed up 212GB. The NetBackup configuration
wasn't changed on the Master server, nor the BP.INI file on the client.
Here's what did happen though: The NetWare admins wiped out the NetWare OS
'registry' while changing server configurations to change to IP networking.
(Note: I don't know what a NetWare registry is; see job title in my sig).
Does _anyone_ know what I'm talking about? I have a ticket open on this now, but
haven't gotten a solution yet. I've tried changing it from multiple streams
(full backup was 12GB on a 212GB server) to single stream, which has backed up
43GB in a 20 hour period (still running). The problem is not a difference in
duplex settings. Any ideas are appreciated.
Regards,
RCA
