Backing up large sparse files

To conserve backup media, NetWorker compresses sparse files before the save operation writes the file to the backup media. While NetWorker compresses the file, the backup job may stop and the following message appears:

savegrp: Aborting inactive job (633).

This can occur when the backup operation does not write any data to the backup media during the compression operation and time the backup is idle reaches the time that is specified by the group Inactivity Timeout attribute. To resolve this issue, increase the Inactivity Timeout attribute for the backup group.

To help determine an adequate timeout limit:

  1. Set the Inactivity Timeout value to zero. A value of zero results in no timeout limit.
  2. Determine the time that the backup requires to complete a full save of the file system, and specify this time as the inactivity timeout limit.
