Client not properly configured on the NetWorker Server.
Hello dears,
I'm a new to Networker, and I was working on setting up a client for backups on a windows OS.
I have installed the Networker client software on the client and also created the client on the Networker Management side however when I run the backup for the specified client I get 2 errors which are supposed to be for 2 different backup levels (Incremental) and (Full).
Okay after a few days of troubleshooting I finally found the solution for this issue and it was because of the hostname which before was ades1Pn01aidfrv but after the OS was re-installed the name was changed to ades1Wn01aidfrv so I had to delete the client and re-create it again with that name and also put that in the client alias as Lucky85 mentioned. the issue is fixed now and the backup is completing successfully, thank you guys for your replies!
Sorry you are right I should've included those information at the first place.
You are obviously running a NW 9.x version. This is all we can see.
I am using Networker version 9.1.1.5
What is your entry in the 'save set' Iist? - it is a bit unusual that only E: will be backed up. The default is 'all'.
This is a File System backup which means we only backup the E partition so the Save Set is only "E:\". (we have similiar backups which are running fine as well btw)
Error code 5 usually stands for "Access denied". So I wonder which account you used to install the NW client software.However, NW itself should not have any issues because it runs the backup with 'system' account.
I have used a user to install the client which is created specifically for backup purposes and is a super user so it can't be a limitation from the user side.
Try to run a manual backup at the client first to verify whether you can backup at all. Do that for more than one volume:
save -s -b C:\
save -s -b E:\
one by one.
Let's see whether you can backup at all.
I tried to apply this suggestion from the client CLI and this is the result:
As I wrote before the message is clear, name is misconfigured/missing, check mistypes, maybe you can try stop NetWorker services to empty nsr/tmp on backup server to clean cache.
