Hi Douglas
Its most likely TRACKER.EXE on Win2k3 (if this is the client), you can turn
tracker.exe off by using the START, RUN and goto MSCONFIG and press ok.

Next, goto the START UP tab and untick TRACKER.EXE.

When you apply and OK this, you will be asked to REBOOT -do NOT do this :-)
Simply stop and restart the NetBackup Services and try again.

Also, make sure no one else has any RDP connection to the box :-)

Is there a way to disable the file list estiimate for file number and size
that happens before a backup begins?  I have a NB 6.0 MP3 media server with
approx  50 million files and 3 TB of disk.  It is taking over 30 hours to
back up the system, part of that 36 hours is file list building that takes
over 11 hours on one of the drives and over 13 hours on one of the other
drives.  This makes daily backups impossible.  If I can disable the
estimates the backups should complete in less than 24 hours.  I don't have a
problem if the media server runs 24/7 backing up files. I just can't see it
taking over 24 hours.

Media server is backing up local fiber attached data drives.

The media server is win2k3 server
Netbackup Enterprise server 6.0 MP3
The library is an ADIC Scalar I2000 with 12 LTO2 drives and 700 slots.
Drives and robot are fiber attached to the media server.

Fiber zones are split.  Data Drives use one zone.  Library / Tape drives use
a different zone.

As usual thanks all for the quick responses this is a great group to belong
to. As for the storage unit question it sees all 4 drives. I set the max
jobs from 1 to 99 on the master server this was how it was before I had
problems a week ago some how got reset. I will try this and see what
happens. I will recheck all of my settings one more time.

 

Thanks

Have you set the max jobs to 99 for the master server ? Host properties of
the master :-)

        Have you checked your storage units?  Are both policies set to write
to the same storage unit, and thus to the same drive (assuming this is how
you are configured?)  Are both backups of the same server. I've had mixed
results trying to run multiple policies on the same server at the same time.
If you fire off policy #2 (the one not running
now) and then Policy #1 does the same issue occur?

        Hello all,

         

        I have a weird one I have two separate policies that start at the
same time with 4 available drives. One starts writing and the other stays
queued.

         

        They are both windows systems running through a windows media server
with a Sun Solaris master. I am running NetBackup 5.1 mp5

         

        TIA

         

        Matt
