Reboot of MS Server 2008 R2 standard while the backup runs makes the backup job stall

Carl-Marius
Level 4

Hi,

I run NetBackup  7.0.1, and the 7.0.1 backup client is installed on the servers.

 

I have some MS Server 2008 R2 Standard servers, and the daily backup runs at 22:00 hours.

 

When Windows Updates releases new updates, they are installed 03:00 and reboots the server afterwards.

When the server is online again, the bpbkar32.exe process runs on the server and use less than 10 % in CPU.

 

But in the NetBackup Adminsitration Console, the servers has the someting like the following properties:

 

Percent Complete: 1%

51298 minutes remaining.

 

Normally the server backup completes in less than 6 hours, but when the server reboots, it seems that it never completes.

 

If I terminate the bpbkar32.exe process, I get a file read failed (13):

It is true that it job cannot complete if the server is rebooted during the backup job on the server?

 

Kind regards,

Perfectly normal.  Netbackup will appear to be 'hanging for the duration of 'Client Read Timeout'.

NetBackup is REPORTING the error here: Broken Connection.

unable to perform read from client socket, connection may have been broken

Depending on retry parameters in Master Server config, backup may be retried afterwards.

Best to disable automatic updates in a production environment.

Hi Marianne,

 

Thank you for your answer!, I just wanted to be sure smiley.

 

I will try and adjust the Windows Updates server reboot and/or edit the retry parameters in the Master Server configuration.

 

Kind regards,

Carl-Marius
