Ever since installing Arcserve 7 for netware I have been experiencing strange problems. The software is installed on a Netware 5.11 server with all the latest SPs, patches, etc. for both the o/s and arcserve.
Right, the problem is that one of the sessions of our backup jobs is not written to the database. This session is rather large (approx 80 Gb) but it appears to backup fine. We have been able to merge the session and restore files that way. All other sessions backup with no problem and details are written to the database. Does anyone know what the restrictions are regarding sessions written to the database?
Or could it be not related to the size at all? We have had other problems with the netware volume that the session backs up, ie for some reason drives mapped to this volume (our main data volume) drop off regularly but also inconsistently. So maybe it is related.
If anyone has experienced similar problems I would also love to hear from them.
Thanks very much in advance for any help you may be able to give me. Edmee de Klerk
