We dont have any problem with incremental backup, the problem is just with the full backup 

Below informations about client configuration and master/media servers 

Client :

OS : Windows 2012 R2

Netbackup version : 7.6

Master/media server 

OS : Windows Server 2016

Netabckup version : 9.1.0.1

 

Could you advice please 

 

Thank you

I'm assuming that the backup policy is a traditional backup policy and that you are not backing it up using a VIP. Give us more details about the backup policy.

Is this the only client you are having the issue with? Since when did this start? What changed before that?

Also, I would start with an upgrade of the client to 9.1.0.1 as 7.6 is old and out of support. Support would ask to upgrade as the fist thing.

Check logs for bpbkar and bpbrm to start with after increasing logging to VERBOSE=3

Hi @slomix6 ,

Do you have access to your Vcenter, please provide us task & events log for this specific backup failure. Ensure the timestamp in vcenter is same are recorded in nbu. 

Most of the time, multiple event could result in "file read failure" Lets start by isolating what was recorded in vcenter first.

Hello,

You may want to run chkdsk on your vm and fix if there is any error.
Wa faced this kind if error before..
Also, if you want to dig more in logs, enables
bpdbm v5 on master and rerun a backup.
I m kind of sure that you will find some errors in chkdsk ;)
If that doesn’t work, then enable vxms logs on your backup host and share it here
