We are facing peculiar problem in our environment. We have Windows 2003 and 2008 servers in our environment and we use EMC Netwroker 7.6 to backup this servers. Everyday we face backup failures for servers witn the follwing error:
abandoned : Unable to execute savefs job on host xxxx : Remote system error - Connection timed out.
When we check these particular servers we found the a user account named Network has deny permission in C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr as shown in the attachment. So when we remove that user the backup got successful. But the user Network comes back again with deny permission on nsr folder and backup start failing again with error as mentioned above.
I have also found that whenever we install the networker client of version 7.6 sp2 to any windows server the the user named Network have full deny permission on nsr folder. So not sure where this user Network comes from and why it has deny permission on nsr folder.
I assume your service is running as local system account. I do not remember seeing network user before, but then again I never checked. What you describe does not seem to be default so it might be related to baseline used at your site - can you check with Windows guys? I assume modifying permissions would do the trick...
Did you found the solution about this? I also having same issue and I can't run a successful backup even I have changed the nsr permissions to "allow".
The issue you are facing , it can be with thelogin account doesnot have required permission to execute savefs job on client machine,also make sure the backup account has enough of privilege to perform backup/recovery operation on the client machine.
You can refer the below kb article which provide you information related to the issue
My problem has solved, I managed to run a successful backup. What I did is installed networker 7.5.2 and changed the nsr folder permission to allow all. Thanks
