Just a note  ( I have AIX)

And I have seen AIX say bad date on just command line when it did not like the syntax ( happens to me when I try ‘at’ command)

And unix just does not like those odd file names.

I don’t use the java gui, but use the windows remote admin console on my pc.  So I have not seen the issue with a  restore.

Just wanted to note I have see the same behavior at unix command line when it interrupts a command with characters that are not allowed by unix

All:

Our environment, HP-UX 11-31 currently running one master and media server running NetBackup 6.5.2.  Running mostly unix / Linux backups and a couple windows b/u’s thrown in for good measure.

I primarily run the NetBackup gui on my Linux (RedHat ) workstation but also run it on my Windows XP laptop.  I had to do a restore this morning of a file that had a ton of special characters in its name.  The restore from my Linux workstation canceled with the message “invalid date specified:” followed by part of the name of the file.  The part of the name of the file that displayed in the error started in the middle of the name string with some of the special characters around it.  The Activity Monitor showed the restore canceled with a “client process aborted (50)” error. I tried several restores from the same directory with files with special characters in them with the same results.  I also ran successful restores for files with normal non special character names from the same directory from my workstation.  I then opened up a NBU gui session on my windows laptop and successfully ran the restore of the files with special characters in their names.  I suspect that the special characters in the file name caused some character translation problem in Linux that made it corrupt the date field, and that Windows could handle the translation.  I’m not going to pursue this as I do have a workaround but was curious if anyone out there has ever had this same type of problem.

Thanks in advance…
