ERR - Error encountered while attempting to get additional files for System State:\
I back up a single windowsx64 server (along with ~80 linux servers) - on the windows server I back up all local drives (with some exceptions in the exception list) and always get a 'requested operation was partially successful' result with the error from the detailed status:
Dec 19, 2019 12:56:04 PM - Error bpbrm (pid=28408) from client u1probob01v: ERR - Error encountered while attempting to get additional files for System State:\
I have checked the Host Properties / Master Server / Properties / Client Attributes / Windows Open File Backup - and it is set to use VSS. As part of my troubleshooting, I removed the client from Windows Open File Backup and re-added it. Then restarted all the netbackup services and tried the job again - same result.
I could use some help with this?
Thanks everybody
It is Win2016. It has been happening on both full and differential backups.
It is strange - the job has been partially successful for months (I had already determined that I could recover the stuff from the box that I really cared about)
I worked on it yesterday and couldn't get it to succeed. As I described I took the server out of vss and put it back in - restarted netbackup and tried another test - still partially successful. I created the ticket and went on to other tasks.
This morning - the job was 100% successful. I reran the backup again - and it worked again. Something must have been cached.
This has been a very low priority (as I said, I already knew the data I cared about was being backed up and was recoverable) - but I'm super happy to have it off my conscience. Thanks for all the replies. I'm always very pleased with the help I get from this forum.
