Hi Andre
Did you ever find a workaround for this?
We have similar issues with numerous servers. That was not a big problem when we were running DP5 up to DP6.20, but we upgraded last November to DP8 (now on 8.12) and since we have major issues:
We run inhanced incremental backup with consolidation. If such error is encountered on a server (minor error), the following consolidation completly 'lose' the whole server for the consolidated backup. No error, nothing, but it is gone.
This is a major issue in my eyes, because unless you look really closely at the details of each backup report every day, there is no way to know that your server is gone from the backup. Of course, if you do not pick that up, and have to restore, you are stuffed!
I have a case opened since last year with HP about it, but progress is very slow, if you see what I mean!
I am trying on parallel to remove the cause of the problem but it is not easy as I cannot reproduce the problem.
I have noticed that the errors are always caused by files that are probably opened from a PC using Windows/Samba, but I am not sure if the PC is active (ie user in a different time zone really working on the file) or passive (ie user having the file opened and gone home with PC perhaps in sleep mode).
Any suggestion for a workaround or a way to reproduce it in order to pass the info to HP would be great
Thanks in advance
