Catalog Backup - unsuccessful

Hey all, I need help with doing a backup of the catalog and not sure where the problem is. There is no where that I can look at (or know) that would tell me what to do to fix it.

I have NBU 7.5 on Windows 2008 R2. Running a Master and a separate Media server. I can run full successful backups of file system jobs without problems but when i try to run the backup job for Catalog, it fails with error: none of the requested files were backed up(2). I have rebooted the server and created the policy a few times. I am trying to backup the catalog to C:\BackupDirectory (Disaster Recovery) with domain credentials but it doesnt seem to work.

 

I am also attaching the dpdbm log that (i dont think) really gives much info that i can go off of. This is all that i can see that says error.
 

excerpt:

    Hmm, NAT is not supported with NBU, it can work, but can be very very troublesome.

    CORBA issues are network related, we had 25s and as Marianne pointed out, the master is having trouble talking to itself, which is pointing more and more to something outside NBU casung this, or at least contributing to it, which was my first thought, although I didn't say so ... )

    Proving EMM is correct (the bits we looked at of yours looked fine) and there are no incorrect entries (unlikely on a new system) I'm struggling to think of a reason where NBU could cause this, after all, we only use the network provided to us, we don't control it.

    As you will understand, when looking at an issue you have to consider the most likely cause, there's no point spending hours looking where the issue is least likely to be and I do think that it this case, starting again is the correct way forward.

    I suggest that you progress without NAT, if nothing else to confirm NBU works, keep it simple and all that.  then if you must, see what happens with NAT (which I don't recommend as it's not supported).

    Regards,

    Martin

    It looks like you are using your master server to back itself up to itself, which I think is the problem.  I think it is using VSS to try to do a snapshot of the drive where the catalog is located (C:), but then it can't write to that drive because it is snapped.

    If I'm wrong, please correct me!

    If i'm right, why would you store your catalog backup on the root drive of the master server?  If that drive fails, you've lost your catalog AND the backup. Assuming you have space on your media server, back the data up there instead.

    I changed the backups but might have to restart the services. Without restarting the srvices and moving the backup to E: drive, i still am getting the same error.

    i'll keep you posted.

    Your Storage Unit is set to 'Any Avalailable':

     Residence:           (specific storage unit not required)
     Volume Pool:         CatalogBackup

    Best to select a specific Storage Unit. If it is a Media Manager SU, ensure that you have tapes available in CatalogBackup or in Scratch pool. The Storage Unit is where the actual backup is written.

    Disaster Recovery location is where small DR-file is written with information about Catalog Backup when successful. This DR-file needs to be written to a drive letter other than the one where NBU installation and catalogs reside.

    If backup still fails, please let us know how many jobs are generated and show us ALL text in Details tab of all of these jobs.

    So, I selected a specific Media (Disk SU) and disabled Indexing on the E: drive. Restarted NBU services (BPDOWN/BPUP) and then tried the Catalog Backup again..same result (error 2). Following is what i see in the job:

    When i run the job, there are two jobs that are created, one is parent, second is child. Child dies first with the log up above. Parent dies with the following log in the details pane of the job:

    Really not sure what i am doing wrong... it is straight forward and should be able to back itself up on E: drive (30GB size empty).

    dpdbm logs are the same as noted above in previous posts. no change.

    Please copy bpdbm log to bpdbm.txt and upload entire file as File attachment.

    Difficult to say with small extracts.

    PS. Hopefully you have a patched version of 7.5? 7.5.0.3 or 7.5.0.4?

    I am attaching the file with this message...

    I do not have the patches installed... i have a clean install from the 7.5 CD. At the bottom of the log file, you'll see the errors mentioned in my previous posts.

    Also, instead of 2 jobs, i am getting 3 jobs created for the process. Second process (that does not seem to do anything) goes through succesfully but the main one does not.

    Attaching the screenshots from the Activity Monitor.

    What does this do:

    Create a dir eg E:\cat_test

    Run

    nbdb_backup -online E:\cat_test
