Network drive

[cavie]

Hi,

I have a few network drive mapping on my v4.5 (w2k) master server, which I would want netbackup to do the backup. It appeared that netbackup is not recognising the network drive mapping. Is it possible to do network drive backup or UNC path backup?


Thanks.

Yes it is and you will need to include it in your file selections list.

Hi,

I have checked the 'Backup Network drive' in the policy. I have specify 'G:\to-be-backup' in the 'files' tab. However, the netbackup still cannot find anything to backup. I checked from the explorer and everything is readable. Am I missing something?


Thanks.

Hello All,

If the original poster is still around: Was this issue ever resolved? And how?

I'm having the same issue. NBU 5.0, MP4 on Windows 2003. I'm trying to back up a network drive (mapped to a drive letter) off of the master server but the backup consistently fails with status 71 (none of the files in the file list exist).

I have followed the troubleshooter and the bpcp service is running under a privileged account (rather than system). Other client backups of the master server work fine.

I turned on the logging...bpcd looks fine and all that is noted in bpbkar is "7:44:30.859 AM: [3488.1184] <2> tar_base::V_vTarMsgW: TRV - object not found for file system backup: S:" and then a repeat of the status message and then the job abort.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions from anybody.
