Hi All,

Here is the latest, after a weekend of full backups. On Friday I changed the policies so that only ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES had the BMR checked. Previously the Solaris x86 and Windows servers have successfully BMR process work. After the weekend the Windows and Solaris x86 BMR still worked, but I cannot get the Solaris Sparc servers to work. The all fail with the following set of errors

Failed to import the Config file. (1)

Failed sending the discovery. (1)

BMR information discovery failed. (1)

Any clues would be greatly appreciated. If you need further info please let me know the command line command to gather it, as I have no capability to cut and paste GUI info.

It means exactly what I wrote... in the 6x and 7x BMR is enabled by default for the clients. Nothing needs to be configured for the client.

Your Policy has BMR enabled right? (the tick box in the policy) and your using the ALL LOCAL DRIVE DIRECTIVE?

Also, make sure the clients are running at least the same version as the master. As a rule, if I am running 7.0.1, then the client should ideally run the same.

Nothing needs to be done at the client, but can you give more information as to what your seeing in activity monitor?

Is it collecting the BMR information and transferring to the master?

Thanks, Simon

What does that mean? I have turned on BMR in the policies but I get errors when the backups run, so I assumed something more was needed on the client end.

I dont configure the clients in any way... I simply do it at the Policy level

Hi All,

Thank you for your help in the past. I have one more BMR question. Is it possible to configure a BMR client without having to log in to the client?

Regards,
