Here's the environment:
Solaris 10 Master/media servers running NB 6.5.1
Windows 2000 client running 5.1 MP5
client has a SAN drive with approx. 650GB of data, across 3 million files, in addition to C and D, and is part of a cluster.
I only get this error on diff incremental backups, and only when I single stream (which is the standard...backups, as a matter of policy, are not multistreamed).
Allowing multiple streams yields 4 streams (C, D, G, and system state), and incr run fine.
Not allowing multiple streams, backup fails. Symantec says it hangs on the C drive, yet if I exclude G, the single stream incr runs fine.
Fulls run fine regardless of streaming.
Before you say "just allow multistreaming"... I tried that but it only resolves the issue on this particular client; there is another (part of the same cluster) that just has C and D, and it get the same error on diff incr, even with streaming turned on.
Got an open call with Symantec, but I'm not getting a warm and fuzzy that they will ersolve this issue.
