Others reasons for backups not completing on UNIX servers are:

The O/S on the client has been reloaded and the TSM/ADSM software is
missing

Stale NFS handles - this is usually when a filesystem was mounted to
something that no longer exists.

There is a hardware problem on the client filesystem that it is trying to
back up.

Subject:  Possible reasons for "Missed" backups?



Using the QUERY EVENT command, I see a list of completed, missed, and
failed
backups.

I assume that the 'missed' are due to a defunct/inactive client scheduler,
or a loss of connectivity to the host.

Are there other possible reasons, perhaps scheduling oriented or otherwise,
to explain why a client is 'missed'?
