With regards to the second problem the first thing I would check is if the nsrjobd daemon is running; if not I would suggest restarting the Networker processes on the server and verify that nsrjobd is running, then try again.

The first problem may be connected to the second but there is really nothing to go on at present - could you provide some log extracts showing what error you get when you try to backup /var?

And what is the error for the first problem? Do you get any error at all or saveset All doesn't pick up /var (if so, what if you specify it as saveset)?

As for second, could be an issue with jobdbd or timing issue which would be cosmetic thing then. Check the state of jobdbd first. If it looks fine, you can open that with support just to confirm if it is harmless.

Hi all,

You will find savegrp.log and daemon.log from the backup.
The backup begin correctly durring 20minutes, all saveset are done excepted the /var which during 40 minutes does not anything....(i think retry)

Thanks in advance...

savegrpp.log

Inactivity timeout - it mean client didn't send any data for more than specified period (default 30 minutes). Could be an issue with big file systems during incremental backups or there is a problem with file system.

If you get this during full backups this could be an issue with file system too. In such case run it in debug mode and see if it fails each time you run full backup on the same file. If yes, this is probably issue with file system.

Of course, could be issue with 7.3 too, but I would start from above checks.

That log is big so just pay attention to where is breaks.

Go to client and do:

save -s cerbere -D9 -lfull -bPOOL_NAME_HERE /var

If should probably hang at some place X.

Then repeat the same thing and see if it breaks at the same place.

Also, check if you have save commands hanging from previous sessions on that system.

The problem is met only on this file system, we have paste on /tmp a big file and the backup run correctly... but not on the /var.

The file sytem /var contain an image of the sytem in point of time so is growing during the backup... but not all the directory in think just some files..

Ok I run this group in debug 9 and come back with the log..
