I have to backup a Solaris 2.5 server using a Win2000  netbackup master =
server v4.5.  The Solaris 2.5 is not on the compatibility list but we =
were told that it should work anyway and if it didn't to try and =
downgrade the client version to 3.4.

Both versions of the client software are unsuccessful producing a file =
read failed (13) error.    All network communications seem to be fine =
between the servers.  I can open the client properties from the =
netbackup master server which to me would be an indication that the =
master server can communicate with the client!??

The file read error appears immediately when the backup begins.  There =
is no attempt to try again and if this was a network error I would =
expect the backup to fail only after timing out after attempted =
communication with the server fails.

How can I find out if my problem is related to the version of solaris or =
another issue?  Is anyone else backing up solaris 2.5?

Thanks,  Mark
