Very Computer

I am only able to do full backups using Solstice
Backup 5.1.  I have a single weekly backup
schedule, which is:

Sunday,Monday: skip
Tuesday-Friday: level 1
Saturday: Full

I am backing up 7 clients to a single server.
The times on all the clients are synchronized
with the server.  The backup pool is set up to
specifically allow (through nwadmin) full, level1-
3, incr, and manual backups.

All the indexes for each client look fine.

Has anyone out there experienced a similar
problem?

Was incremental backup ever working? If it was working has anything
changed since then?

The only thing I am aware of is that Solstice is very sensitive to
almost anything. My backup scheme is very similar to yours, other than
the fact that I do not skip on Sundays and Mondays. The only advice I
can think of is remove the skip on Sundays and Saturdays. Since its
incremental, it is not too much of a problem, since only files that have
changed get backed up.

good luck (btw all Solstice users need it, when things go awry)

what kind of error messages did you got? could you send an extract of
/nsr/logs/messages?

Try to change level 1 to incr in nwadmin. That is how we have it set
up and it works... most of the time...

Not this particular one but I think that Solstice Backup is a little
bit, should we say, picky and unintuitive at times ;)

We will ditch it as soon as the homebrew software to the new
tapelibrary is finished...
