That is precisely the error I am getting. Sorry I wasn't more
descriptive. I've got a remote site with about 3 TB to backup which
takes about 40 hours on their hardware. The window opens Friday night,
and runs through Saturday. Now if that looooooong job fails because
tape #3 of the backup set is bad, and I try to restart the job Monday
morning (or Sunday / anytime after the window closes) it goes strait to
196. So my idea is to keep the window open until Monday morning, which
gives me plenty of time to restart the job - but that's not a great
solution because I don't want the backup job firing at 8:00AM Monday
morning if the library gets backlogged (for whatever reason.) I suppose
I could use priority to solve this, but why can't I just manually
restart jobs that have failed? I'm still looking for solutions... hmmmm

Ahhhhh I see - ok so MAYBE, if a job initially fails with 196 (backup
window closed), and you attempt to re-run, it may automatically fail
again.
Now this is interesting, because another site that uses the method you
described complained the job re-launched but got 196 straight away!

I've just double checked, on a machine that conveniently failed
it's backups last night.. :-)
The job in question was a single stream of a multi stream
backup, which had failed with an error 156. The job was "Done", not
suspended. The window closed at 6am this morning. I right-clicked &
restarted it and the new job for that stream came up in activity monitor
after a couple of seconds.
Interestingly, the new job came up as a "Scheduled" just like
the original. I thought the manual restart might have made the new job
an "Immediate".

I always thought you would get a 196 status (Backup Window
closed). I assume you restarted by choosing a stream that failed and
right clicking on it and selecting "restart job" ?

I've restarted streams after window closure, it seems to
work OK.

It is my understanding that I can't "restart" a failed
backup with checkpoint enabled unless it is still in the backup window?
Is this correct? Also, does anyone have any tips on using checkpoint
and large backups?
Thanks,

keep in mind that in order for BMR to work properly,
clients must be on the same VLAN as the BMR server, in order to boot.

Good Morning
Well so far, so good - got a more stable NBU
system - one SAN Media failed its backup, but not bothered about that
and its running fine now!
I wanted to try and cover some grounds with any
NBU win2k3/NT/2000 environments, about how your NetBackup environment is
configured and what failover you have in place or DR plans.
I have been looking at BMR for NBU6, but I run
5.1 MP2 which has been extremely stable for us (if you exclude the
manual intervention of someone destroying it!!!), and have not been
fully convinced about going to 6 yet.
BMR works and integrates with 6, but from a DR
point, I am not sure if this is the right method to go down.
