savegrp is already running

[boyd6630]

A newbie question:<br><br>I have only one enabled group, which is scheduled to be run every night. But it only successfully ran once, and the successive runs got the error message:<br><br>savegrp is already running<br><br>Can anybody tell me what's wrong. Thanks.<br>

I don't know what platform you're using (I use NT), but if you check networker administrator and look at your groups, you'll see a clock on your group.&nbsp;&nbsp;The clock means it's running.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you right click and look at details you can see what it &quot;thinks&quot; it still needs to backup (incomplete savesets).&nbsp;&nbsp;I've had this problem backing up SQL servers that we're running at full duplex.&nbsp;&nbsp;They would give an MMD error and that would hang the job like you are seeing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unfortunately you can just rightclick and stop the job, it gives an error (with NT anyway).&nbsp;&nbsp;Only way to stop it is to restart the networker services on the server.&nbsp;&nbsp;IF you have another platform, you may have to reboot the server or something.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope that helps.

If you are running Legato on the Unix platform, check to see if this savegrp is hanging out there are a hung process.&nbsp;&nbsp;I just had a similar problem, and located the savegrp<br>process using the ps command, and then killed the PID.&nbsp;&nbsp;That resolved the problem, and I was able to restart the backup.
