 Greetings, list.

Over the weekend, our internal DNS server went down. One of our servers
didn't get backed up, and I can only guess that it's because the Backup
Server couldn't resolve the name. 

Our backup server is MMORA3, and our client is mmora1. 

Here's the error log:

Here's our /etc/hosts file:

# more /etc/hosts
#
# The form for each entry is:
# <internet address>    <official hostname> <aliases>
#
# For example:
# 192.1.2.34    hpfcrm  loghost
#
# See the hosts(4) manual page for more information.
# Note: The entries cannot be preceded by a space.
#       The format described in this file is the correct format.
#       The original Berkeley manual page contains an error in
#       the format description.
#
10.1.1.22 yoda          yoda.mutualmaterials.com        yoda
10.1.1.24 obiwan        obiwan.mutualmaterials.com      obiwan
10.1.1.18 mmora1        mmora1.mutualmaterials.com      MMORA1

Here's an nslookup:

# nslookup mmora1
Using /etc/hosts on:  MMORA3

looking up FILES
Name:    mmora1
Address:  10.1.1.18
Aliases:  mmora1.mutualmaterials.com, MMORA1

I guess what my question is would be why it didn't back up? It would
appear that MMORA3 can resolve the name to its /etc/hosts file. What
else could cause an error 54? And, shouldn't NetBackup be able to use
the /etc/hosts file to back stuff up in absence of the DNS server
anyway?

Thanks!
