Unable to obtain the list of backup Images using specified search criteria
Hi
I am getting "Unable to obtain the list of backup Images using specified search criteria" on several database instances on SQL server 2016 when trying to view the restores.
I am using Veritas NetBackup 8.1.1 and have about 20 databases and most of them are backed up and restored normally, but there are some databases which backup successfully but can't be restored and I got above error. All databases are in one policy and backup from one SQL cluster, the only difference I found is as follows.
The file list shows the address of instance by slash while the other one which works correctly show the address by dots.
1- INF - Using backup image /DBexchange/MSSQL7/SQLCLUSTER/db//~/7/001of001/20190520102023//C
2- INF - Using backup image /DBexchange.MSSQL7.SQLCLUSTER.db.~.7.001of001.20190517001757..C
Thanks

Hello,
ok but using dot in database name is not generally a good idea, because dot is a separator in MSSQL naming hierarchy (<server>.<database>.<owner>.<table>).
See, for example, this discussion: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/1166/is-it-okay-to-put-dots-in-sql-server-database-names. So you can try to use trailing brackets around database name. I guess you will have to use legacy (script-based) policies, not intelligent policies.
