No David, it's been solid for the past 4 or 5 months.  I can't get logs out
of Netbackup.  IT's as if the backups are not even attempting to run.  I'm
really at a loss, I have been working with support to no avail so far.
 
 
Thanks,

Ron:
 
Tim's suggestion that the NBU backup process is running may be the culprit
even on your W2K server.
 
If that's not the case, I'd create some logging directories.
 
bpdbm
bpsched
 
on the master server.
 
There is one caveat in creating the bpdbm directory.  In order to stop
logging to this directory you must first stop the bpdbm process, remove the
directory then restart the process.
 
Did this machine happen to crash anytime before these three days? 
 
David

This could happen if your database backup was still running. I used to (3.2)
have an occational situation where the db backup would run but leave
processes around and as a result none of my backups would run but I could do
restores. Sound familiar? 
 
I haven't seen it since we went to 3.4 but here is what I used to do to fix
it
 
run the K77netbackup on the master
do a ps -ef | grep bp and see if anything is still running (shouldn't but
when this occurred there always was)
do a kill -9 on any remaining bp processess
run the S77netbackup on the master to restart
 
PS. Even running bp.kill_all didn't get rid of the processes. Using the kill
-9 was the only way that worked for me.

I am running Netbackup Datacenter 3.4 and for the last 3 days, none of my
backups will kick off, not even manual backups.  I can restore, but no
backups.  I can't even generate logs.  Any ideas??
