Disconnect from media

[drlandau]

Hi,

I use the ASO version of ARCserve (version 7.0) with a Compaq TL891 MiniLibrary.

We've set up two jobs, one for databases and one for files, in a GFS rotation scheme with daily diff. backups and a full on friday with "Scan backup media contents" CRC verification after each backup.

Some times after the backup is done on the file-backup (that runs after the database backup) and ASO is about to disconnect from tape and clean up, the jobs hangs. When I check the backup in the morning, the job has a status of "Active" and the "Execution time" says "Disconnect from media". When I check the log, the backup appears to be ok but the job never ends properly after the CRC check.

It is only some times this happens, and if I try to stop the job, ASO freezes in the engine shutdown and I'm forced to reboot the server. Hereafter the job will appear as Crashed and tries to start again efter the boot.

Have anyone else seen this? And does anyone have any suggestions for what is wrong?

Is it recommended to use the CRC check at all - or is it just a waste of time?

Thanks,
Nicolaj

Correction to the above: When I try to stop the job it gets the status "Stopping..." but never stops. And if I then try to restart the engines ASO hangs in the engine shutdown.
