Also - You might want to try performing a client initiated save and checking to see if it hangs in the same way, or provides an error.
save -vvv -s <backup server> -b <pool> C:\\
Good Luck!

As 605 explained, future backups only refer back to successful backups.
In the case of an incremental backup, it will refer to the last successful backup (of any level). A differential backup will refer to the last successful full backup. To prove this, run the following command:
savegrp -p...
Hey - Using NDMP is definitely the best way to go. It'll generally be faster, most likely be less complex and you'll see better results than the method below.
Recongizing that some folks don't have the option for one reason or another, here's something else you can try...
I did this a...
Hey - Check out the NetWorker Admin guide for Windows... I'm remember something about disabling VSS saves by using adding a command string in the client profile.
Good Luck!

Hey -

Hey - You can script the clone operation to allow only one job at a time...
For example:
Get the save sets from your backup window (that haven't been cloned yet) and dump them to a file...
mminfo -q "savetime > 12 hours ago,copies=1" -r "ssid" > /tmp/ssid_list
(if you're using adv_file type...
Hi - I haven't played too much with 7.3.x yet, but check the man page for nsrmm. Assuming nothing has changed, it'll be something like:
nsrmm -o recyclable <volume>
Good Luck!

Hey - That works great, but if you have save sets running when you run that query, they will be displayed, as well.
Along with incomplete, consider using the ssrecycle query, as any aborted save sets should be recyclable right away.
For example:
mminfo -q "savetime > yesterday,ssrecycle"...
Hi - I would start by taking a few of the tapes and looking for any consistent problems. Are they bombing on you in the same drive(s)? Maybe from the same tape series? Can you relabel one of those tapes and try it in another drive? Anything at all that will let you start to play connect the...
Hi - You might want to consider taking periodic flash archives of your Solaris boxes. Done properly, it will allow you to boot off the Solaris CD (or a boot server) and restore the O/S from disk or tape.
Good Luck!

Thanks for that bit of information... I know plenty of folks using the Leadville drivers (with tape drives) with no issues. Definitely something good to keep in mind.
What kind of problems did you have?
Hi - Please check the NetWorker Error Message Guide for help with this problem. There is a good explanation for this error, as well as some troubleshooting tips.

Hi - I haven't done it yet, but have had several discussions on this topic...
I believe you need to use Sun's Leadville drivers, instead of the Emulex drivers to make this work properly, under Solaris 10.
good luck!

It doesn't sound like you need a script. Checkout the man page or documentation for the nsrjb command. It should give you everything you need.
good luck!

Hi - Sure, I'll be happy to clarify. I assume you're talking about the verify label on unload?? If not, please let me know.
If a SCSI reset (or anything) causes a tape drive to rewind, and following the rewind operation, NetWorker overwrites the tape label, a warning should be produced when...
Also, be sure no monitoring/reporting software is interacting with the tape devices in a disruptive manner. In some cases I've come across, some type of reporting/environmental monitoring software was probing the drive incorrectly, thus causing a rewind, which, when combined with specific...
I would try doing a manual save from the client and see if it pops the same error.
From the client, try:
save -s <server> -vvv <path>
good luck!
