Backup Central

We are running Solstice Backup 6.1.4 on a Sun V880. We have a client
running Novell NetWare 6.5 whcih hangs durnig a backup at the same place
each time (about 1.2 GB backed up). We have had this problem in the past,
and it resulted from a corrupted file. Repeated searches of the 60 GB disk
volume have failed to identify the bad file. I tried putting the client
into a group by itself and running savegroup -vvv to list the files being
backed up. The list, however, only comes back after a successful backup.
Since the backups hang, we never get to that point. Does anyone know of a
way to tell which file is being backed up as the backup is taking place?
Thanks for your help.

Regards,
JOhn

A few ways.

One is to find the actual 'save' command being run on the client. If
you ran that directly (rather than via savegrp), you could watch the
output as it appears.

I don't know anything about novell. Does it have any utilities to show
files in use by a process? I'd run 'pwdx' and 'pfiles' on the save
command on Solaris.
