Hi all, 

I have a customer which has EV 9.02, He get 41008 error "There are ****** savesets that have not yet backed up or replicated for VaultStore"

The vaultstore DB backed up by two different backup tool. SQL maintenance is done.

There error doesn't go away!

Any idea will be appreciated.

what version are you on?
Theres a bug in 9 SP3 with a hotfix because of this problem

Also, make sure the physical Vault Store Partition is being backed up and not just the SQL databases.

This is what i was referring to earlier:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH180841

"The Reporting Vault Store Summary page will show an increasing number of items awaiting backup and an Error event may be logged in the Enterprise Vault Status pane indicating that a large number of items are awaiting backup."

Hi all Thank you for your replies. My EV server version is 9.02 I think I encounter with the bug that is said.

Tony, I backed up the vault store with Networker and NT backup  separately. I doesn't help. 

I am analysing the technote. Thank you. I will inform you all about the progress

Regards.

How are the items being secured i.e. resetting archive bit or Trigger file? Check the Backup tab on the properties of your vault store partition and see if there are any unsecure items listed.

Also run this against your Vault Store database on your SQL server and see if you get any results returned against the number in your Event logs. If you are unsure get your DBA to run it. This is just a select command it will just collect information and won't make any changes to your database (if you are unsure backup it up before you run this query). 

SELECT Saveset.IdTransaction, Saveset.ArchivedDate, WatchFile.ItemName, JournalArchive.BackupComplete

FROM Saveset INNER JOIN

WatchFile ON Saveset.IdTransaction = WatchFile.ArchiveTransactionId INNER JOIN

JournalArchive ON WatchFile.ArchiveTransactionId = JournalArchive.TransactionID AND Saveset.ArchivedDate >= '2002-01-01 00:00'

 ChadChange the date appropriately. This will comfirm if your backup has sucessfully backed up your vault store partitions.

Ctev thank you very much for your post I have run that query it returns 333407 resutls. and backup complete section states 0. What does it mean. What should I do?

Thank you.

It means that you backup has not backed up the items or not correctly anyway.Can you confirm what mechanism are you using i.e. are you using archive bit or trigger file? How are the items being secured i.e. resetting archive bit or Trigger file? Check the Backup tab on the properties of your vault store partition and see if there are any unsecure items listed.

Try testing by changing you mechanism to trigger file, more details can be found here:

I suspect your backup is not doing what it is supposed to do i.e. resetting the archive bits on the savesets, as the SQL results query tells you. This SQL query does not lie. What backup software are you using by the way?
