Re: [Networker] Same Netware volumes regularly fail to backup

Tony,
Thanks for this information. I have back-revved and run a test of this
and a volume which had previously failed was backed up without error. I
shall try this on other servers with failed volumes.
Regards,
Andrew

Andrew,
We saw (and actually still see occasionally) this problem. After a few
weeks with Legato's tech support, someone on this list (or a Novell
list) recommended back-revving to tcp659j. Doing this helped
tremendously (we had one volume that would do nothing more than throw
RPC errors after a few hundred GB). I have seen it once since. We saw
the problem with NetWare 6.5 SP4a + client 7.2 and RH9 + Networker 7.1.3
server.
I was able to reproduce the error with a 0KB file I found on the volume
and I have a hunch (unconfirmed as yet) the issue is related to strange
filenames resulting from code page mismatches (between NetWare server
and a client).
I cannot get Legato to tell me what the core issue is or under what
circumstances it can be reproduced, yet they will say it is a Novell
problem, for whatever that's worth.
