Hi,

I am seeing a problem with some elements of our backup and would appreciate
comments.

The servers affected are all Netware 6.5SP4a.
The Networker version is 7.1.3 running on Solaris.

The error message is this - 

servername:USR1: SAVE.NLM: RPC error: RPC send operation failed.  A network
connection could not be established with the host.

I have watched the process and the volume appears to backup, at the NWadmin
GUI the message 'servername:USR1 Done' is seen.  The volume then starts to
backup a second time.  The index for the Netware volume exists and I can
successfully do a save-set recovery of the Netware volume.  I cannot browse
the index from the Netware server itself so cannot recover individual files.

I have tried setting a backup of a single one of these failing volumes going
and the same error occurs ( By changing the backup from 'All' to specify the
volume name.)  Other volumes on the same server backup fine without this
problem.

I am pretty sure these servers didn't have a problem before the upgrade to SP4a.

I am going to try back-revving to the previous TSAFS version.

Regards,

Andrew
