No Jim. Month end only runs when no other backups are running - all other
policies are deactivated

Hi.
 
Is it possible that the monthly backup starts (maybe not active but
queued..) before the daily one finishes? If so , it is possible that, if you
have VSP enabled, the new backup picks up the VSP drive from the
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive. 
 
 
Regards,
Jim

Look at the Streams file.
 
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/{machine name}/STREAMS
 
Look at the streams list for the Monthly policy (it will be different than
the other policy).
 
I will be that there is a U:\ drive listed in the file for the Monthly.  If
it was ever backed up, it will show the date/time (in utime) of the backup.
 
You can edit the file and cut the line out (with the U:\ file).
 
You can also delete the STREAMS file and it will be rebuilt during the next
schedule.  HOWEVER, the streams file is where the date/time of the last
successful backup is contained.  If you remove it, you don't have a record
of the last backups, therefore, you will get a new set of fulls and
monthly's, and yearly's.......
 
I have been using the STREAMS file to script what and when certain file
systems were backed up.  There is a ton of info in there.

Hi
I am working late, and just noticed something odd!!
 
I have a client in 2 policies (one policy is month end, running now and the
other policy in a Full and Incr).
 
Now the policy is set for ALL LOCAL DRIVES for the client.
 
Now, when the Incr and Full Policy runs for this client, its great, returns
status 0!
 
However, for a Month End Policy, same settings (using ALL LOCAL DRIVES), I
just got a status 71 files dont exist.
 
checked what Activity Monitor shows, and for some reason, it thinks the
client has a "U:" Drive.
 
Logged onto the client, and it doesnt!


Yet, if I run the client in its other policy, it doesnt even see a U: Drive
- Only in the Month end!
 
Any ideas? there is around 30 clients in this policy, but only this one
client causing a problem!
 
Thanks
 

Regards
