What about stopping all the services and killing all the associated
Netbackup processes?
Then starting the services manually?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restarting Netbackup on windows

Is anyone able to restart Netbackup on Windows 2000 without rebooting the
server?

I have several Windows 2000-based servers in my SAN, and whenever a need
comes up to restart Netbackup, the device will not stay running. After
starting it, it fails after about a minute with this in the event log:

Event Type:     Error
Event Source:   NetBackup Device Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID:       2677
Date:           7/16/2002
Time:           7:26:00 AM
User:           N/A
Computer:       XXXXXX
Description:
Cannot get messages: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. 

Veritas support had no suggestions.

?

Some jump to conclusions while others dig for facts.
