Hello,

I'm in the process of configuring Netbackup 5.0 mp2 on a network with 12 
clients. The Netbackup software is running on Windows 2000 Server. 
(Disclaimer: this is my first time working with Netbackup)

Primary backups are running to a disk array. Secondary archival backups 
are running to a tape drive.

I've set up a few different policies for the sake of initial testing of 
the product. One policy runs a full backup of all clients; another 
policy runs incremental backups of all clients; the third policy runs a 
full backup to the tape drive.

The backup window runs from midnight to 4:00 am. The successful jobs 
(about 2/3 of the client list) finish within 15-20 minutes. The 
unsuccessful jobs just seem to stall, and then eventually timeout after 
the 4 hour window expires, exiting with status 196.

For the test run on the full backup to tape, 2 jobs ran successfully, 
and the rest were still trying to run 2 days later.

I have each policy configured to include all the clients (i.e. all 12 
clients are included in the full backup policy, all 12 clients are 
includd in the incremental backup policy, and all 12 clients are 
included in the backup to tape policy).

Sorry I can't give more detailed information, but this is all I'm 
getting as far as Veritas error messages. Event viewer has nothing 
related to Netbackup in its system or application logs.

Any suggestions?
