Problems Migrating on arcserve 11.5

[InfiniteTechnologies]

I am currently running BrighStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP3 (Build 4402) with two active jobs, one being for all of my NT machines and one being for my NetWare machines. I am using the staging option with the NT going to one partition and NetWare going to another partition with them both using the same Media Pool set to Append (GFS not Enabled). This will work for a few days and then NetWare will stop migrating and the logs don't even show it attempting to migrate. Usually I will just go in and make some changes to the destination and resubmit the job. This will take care of the issue for another couple of days or so.

The only thing I can think of is that I am trying to go to the same Tape Pool and if it isn't available at the time it is needed (becuase NT is writing to it) it hoses the migration job. I have asked CA this question many times and they give me the "I don't know" answer".

Any Input would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,
Regards,

I am really not sure if it is related to the sharing of the Media Pool, but from past experience that is the place to start. In general an in this case specifically I think it is a good idea to separate the Windows from NetWare backups.

After speaking with CA they told me that I needed to build a new identical job to the one I was having problems with because something was probably corrupt with the existing job. I reluctantly did as they suggested and amazingly it seems to work.
