Hello,
Set it to Zero, Large NDMP or NAS have this issue, is it possible to break
up the backups into separate savesets, i,e by qtree, folders etc ?
We still run into the problem once in a while with FULL backups of large
NAS shares, avoid running the large savesets if you can, by rearranging
group starttime, schedule etc.
I typically set Group time-outs for NDMP to zero and force incremental to
off ( so that if the group gets restarted, incremental backups will not
results in FULL)
Above scenario is relevant to Netapp NDMP backups and may be helpful with
other NAS also, so test before implementing it.
Note: Incremental backups of NDMP ( We use NDMP V-4) will result in FULL
backups, so use Differential schedule on NDMP.

[Networker] Backup failing with saveset having large number of files.
Thanx Shyam for a quick reply,
Backup of other Filesystems on same host is fine. Only it failed with
large no. of files.
How much should be the inactivity time out. I have set it to 60 min but
still it fails.
Is there any harm if I leave it 0 (no inactivity time limit)?
Thanx & Regards,
Shahid
