I wont lose much sleep - if you have configured DHCP to backup itself (or
using the auto method) thats ok then I guess.
 
Is the client software using the same version and MP as the master and the
other server?
Also are both DHCP servers definetely in use?

Simon,
 
I've researched the DHCP thing and by default it backs itself up every hour,
so I'm quite happy that I'm getting a backup of what I need. However, I'm
trying to figure out why one server has this issue of open files where the
other one doesn't; both are Win2k SP4.
No VSP/VSS is configured for either of the DHCP servers (VSP is enabled on
both networks but not for those servers).
I suppose I actually expect to get the errors regarding open files but it
seems strange that one server doesn't seem to have problem with the open
DHCP files. I'm probably looking for issues here but I hate things not
behaving as expected (I doubt I'll lose too much sleep though).
 
Cheers,
 
Tim

Tim
Its a DHCP database - by default, you may find if its alive and in use, you
will get a status 1 back. You can backup the DHCP databse within the DHCP
Admin tool (if I recall) and make a backup copy of it.
 
Is one server running VSS or VSP? Check in the master properties under
Client Attributes. If the servers are not listed, add them and see what is
enabled under windows open file backup tab :-)
 
Also, are both servers in use? What does the Problem report show for this
box Tim? Also, confirm that the box that appears to be working ok is
definetely backing up the same file, and its not excluded.
 
Thanks

Hi,
 
We have NBU6 MP2 installed on 2 separate networks; both backing up DHCP
servers (both Win2k) using ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES. One of them backs up both Full
and Incrementals without any errors, the other having issues with DHCP files
(reporting the file as being open; files such as dhcp.mdb) for both Full and
Incrementals.
I don't think it's a huge issue as such as the files should be backed up
using SYSTEM_STATE (which is implied via A_L_D) or the MS automated backup
of DHCP (residing in ...\dhcp\backup dir) but I"m trying to figure out why
one server reports issues with open files and the other doesn't, when
they're effectively backing up the same thing.
 
Cheers,
