Backup are OK, i use mminfo to verify but it's a problem because we have
several clients starting at 4h30!! It's very strange because the timeout is
240 min... So why retry it 2hour after???? Is it a legato problem or is it
because it's backup under a firewall??? Please help... thanks for all....

Well.... this is a known issue. NetWorker is opening a port in the firewall
during the start of the backup and is supposed to get some inforamtion from
the client behind the firewall after the backup has been preformed (index
and stuff).

The firewall isn't glad about this and is closing this port(after a while)
so the backupserver can't get this information. That's why you got this
error "no output".

On a Solaris machine you got a "TCP timeout" value to tune and you might
have something simmilar in Windows.....

If the firewall is closing the port  after a while , what does this have to
do with changing the TCP timeout on the backup server?    If it's closed ..
doesn't it stay closed?

If the firewall is closing the port  after a while , what does this have to
do with changing the TCP timeout on the backup server?   Also How do you
see what the time out value is on Sun, then now do you change it?

 If it's closed .. doesn't it stay closed?

Engineering is still analysing some issues and had given us their
recommendations but we have further questions on some of their
recommendation. In fact I have a conference call with the engineer on this
in 20 mins.

Here is part of the dialogue from the engineer:

o The * <client>:<filesystem> ! no output messages appear
   to originate from savegrp.exe when it attempts to read the
   log created by nsrexec while executing the client save. The
   message can be generated when either the log is zero length
   or when no saveset completion message is found in the log
   (successful to not). The "no output" message is documented
   in savegrp(1m).

 o The client log files (nsr\tmp\sg.<group>.<client>.XXXXXX)
   are normally deleted but can be retained if the debug level
   is greater than 1 (eg. -D2). This would require running
   savegrp manually.

I will let you know once we have clarified a few more points with the
engineer. Thanks Indy
