9.1 backup hangs (w/o error notice) when media full

[robert_rogers]

When running a recent (full) backup on our SQL Server, 9.1 failed and hung in a state of doing nothing. I killed the job and restarted it - this second job also hung and did nothing. Upon a full reboot of the machine running 9.1, I restarted the job again and ONLY THEN did I receive an error notice saying that the media was full.

I cleared out some old data, and the job then ran fine.

Is there a hotfix / workaround that can keep this from happening in the future, so that error notices notify us more reliably?

Kindly refer the following steps and install Service Pack 1 to the existing Backup Exec 9.1 software.

You may download Service Pack 1 from the link mentioned below:-
Title:- VERITAS Backup Exec (tm) 9.1 for Windows Servers revision 4691 - Service Pack 1 http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/267180.htm


You may refer the following document to ensure SP1 is loaded.

Title:- How to ensure that Service Pack 1 has been applied to VERITAS Backup Exec (tm) 9.1 for Windows Servers revision 4691 http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/267690.htm

We hope this helps. Let us know if the problem still exists and revert back with the error message.

Hi

Can you also verify you alerts options. If you had check not to pop when there is an error you will not be notified

Thanks for your help -

FYI - I hadn't replied to this thread until now, because I only today received notice (via email) that there was any activity on it.
