Backup Central

Hi All,

It is something strange happening.

I have a solaris 10 host with a Windows client.

The NMC shows a failure for E drive, with a message "No full backups of this save set were found in the media database; performing a full backup" . This is happening on a daily basis, and some more clients have the same issue.

I thought it can be a case of media corruption. However when i checked through mminfo command , i found the backup is happening.

The problem is i dont want to see my queue red just because of this one single error.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Usually an explicit full backup will clear this up. If not then perhaps stopping the NetWorker Server and clearing the nsr/tmp directory may help. Also, I've cleared the nsr/res/jobsdb and nsr/res/nsrladb in the past to clear up issues like this.

The message just means what it is all about: There is no complete and successful full backup found for this save set which can be taken as a reference for an incremental backup. Consequently, no incremental or level (differential) backup can be run. This is logical.
Please read the manual about backup level and dependencies.

Why does it happen? - Only YOU know. But if you really see a full, complete backup with mminfo, then this should not happen. NW will report this info only because could not find a full in the media db. However, a media corruption problem will only occur during reads.

Hi All,

It is something strange happening.

I have a solaris 10 host with a Windows client.

The NMC shows a failure for E drive, with a message "No full backups
of this save set were found in the media database; performing a full
backup" . This is happening on a daily basis, and some more clients
have the same issue.

This message does not indicate a failure, it indicates that no full backup
was ever done on this client.

Now, if you think that there *should have been* a full backup done already
on this client, then you need to look for the messages indicate the
failure of that full backup to finish successfully. No previous full
backup finished successfully; that's why you are seeing this message every
day ... because it's trying to do a full backup, but somehow not
succeeding (apparently).

I thought it can be a case of media corruption. However when i
checked through mminfo command , i found the backup is happening.

When you do a mminfo on this full backup, what does the "ssflags" and
"sumflags" field show? (and you are querying for "level=full", right?)

Pay close attention to the hostname in the report and compare it to the name
in your client settings. FQN and so on. Have seen this happening when the
indexing is done under a different name than the client reports. Usually the
reason is that the client have multiple names in your DNS. Use aliases in the
client settings to tell Networker that they are all the same
