All,

 

Linux OS, NetBackup 7.1.0.4, NDMP

 

I am running into backup issues with NDMP (NetApp filer).  We have over 10 million files and several paths to backup.  What is happening is the smaller paths backup fine but once the larger path starts and NetBackup tries to get the file list it times out with error 99.  This also causes the smaller paths to sometimes (not always, and not always the same paths) to time out.  The error code is my favorite – error 99.

 

Our paths (some excluded, LONG list)

 

/vol/checkpoint

/vol/journal

/vol/home_dir

/vol/projects --- LARGE # of files

/vol/spec --- LARGE # of files

/vol/history

/vol/reports

 

I have tried breaking out the large paths and that seems to help as the smaller paths have no issues.  But the large paths still timeout.  I tried writing to both tape and disk but I still get error 99.  I also have the NDMP_PROGRESS_TIMEOUT set to 24 hours (1440 minutes).

Anyone ever run into this?  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

-Kevin
