Problem with the Suspect save set
I have a general question with regard to networker. From time to time, i experience a problem where saveset's are marked as suspect. In a few situations, I have been unable to sucessfully recover the data after changing the saveset's status to "normal" or "notsuspect" using the nsrmm -o command.
We are working on troublshooting why the suspect saveset's occur in the first place, however, I would like to know how networker can better deal with this situation. My question is this: when a suspect saveset occurs, how can we get networker to 1) let us know that it happened so that we can immediatly do another backup so a recovery would be possible and 2) force networker to automatically attempt to restart the backup and write to a different volume

Suspect woold norammly come owing to media or drive related issues.

Hi all,
At this moment i'm troubleshooting an issue with savesets marked suspect. I don't see that read errors occurs with the same drive or tape so my question is if the NetWorker behaviour of asign a suspect flag to a saveset can occur because of an I/O error caused by an issue in the SCSI chain (faulty components like HBA, datarouter, SCSI cabling...).
Thanks and regards.

Hi Bruno,
Indeed, if any SCSI reset takes place during a write operation, the SCSI will rewind the tape so, the save set that was being written will be marked as suspect automatically.
Let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you.
Carlos.
