Backup / Restore not working

SMIS
Level 3
HI,
 
I'm running Windows 2003 SP2 with NB6 MP4. I have a 6 TB (converted the disk to GPT) partition connected to that server. When I try to backup that partition, I get a succesfull backup with 1 Kilobyte written and 0 files written. When I go to restore the files, I get the error msg "WARNING: unable to obtain list of files using specified search criteria."
 
Could this be related to my GPT disk or to a partition more than 2 TB?

The maximum backup size for an individual backup is 2 XB in NBU v5.0 - so I guess the same applies to v5.1 - but as for v6.0, I should think it's the same if not more - so you should be ok:
 
Maybe the NetBakup client doesn't support GPT type partitions yet.
 
It looks like Mr Rappoport had a similar problem at one time:
...and I know he's still active on here, so maybe he will be kind enough to share the resolution - if there was one.
 
HTH,
Dave.
