Re: [Veritas-bu] Getting a list of files from a failed backup

Jeff,
Have you checked the KB/sec rate while
the backup is running. Sometimes a "41" error can
be caused by
a mis-matched LAN connection. If
the rate is much slower than you expect (in the order of 100KB/sec or so
this
could be an issue) When you are
doing full backups alot more data is being sent.

| [Veritas-bu] Getting a list of files
from a failed backup |
|
Greetings,
I have a file system that has started to fail full backups on a regular
basis. The incremental backups run fine. This file system is
on a hpux
11.11 server, There is only 228 gig of used data, but it does have
~5.5m inodes in use. The backup fails with a status 41. This
server
has other file systems on it with more used inodes and more used space,
and they don't have this problem. I've run the backup at various
times
when I know the network and file system load is low, but it doesn't
change.
The current backup environment is 5.1 mp2. It was supposed to be
retired by now which is why it hasn't been upgraded.
The reason I want to see what files it is backing up before it fails is
that all of the backups seem to backup just over 195 gig before they
fail. The file counts vary quite a bit. I'm expecting that
I may have
a very poorly laid out structure with hundreds of thousands of files in
one directory that is causing this problem. This may also be caused
by
some timeout if it does hit this, but I haven't been able to find it in
any of the log files.
I was able to recovery an image from the tape listing by running
bpmedialist -mcontents -m bk7159. That returns image
massey_1199305335. I've tried doing the following bpflist command
and
get the no entity found
bpflist -backupid massey_1199305335 -d 01/02/2008 -e 01/03/2008 -client
massey
I also tried running the bpflist this way and get no entity found
again. This format works when I give it a different client name and
pattern, so I know I have the syntax correct.
bpflist -client massey -st FULL -d 01/02/2008 00:00:00 -rl 1 -pattern
/mnt/wizard
I'm guessing some of this isn't working because the backup did not
complete and there isn't a valid image for it.
Any help you can provide that will show me where the backup is failing
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
