VSS timeout issues, restart not suitable solution
Hello I have had continual issues with vss writers time outs on one of our machines we are backing up. Running Windows Server 2008R2 SP1, using BE2010 R3 SP1 The vss writers continue to cause the backup to fail due to timeout. They restart fixes the error status on the writers, but they will time out almost each and every time i run the job. The tech's say i have the job setup correctly, with aofo selected, ms volume shadow copy service(windows 2003 and later) selected and System-use microsoft software shadow copy provider selected. And backup files following junction points. I have selected "Process logical volumes for backup one at a time" too see if this helps. Any suggestions on fixes, besides contanct MS? We don't have support with MS, and as we are suggested to use their system writers by symantec, i would hope that Symantec would provide better aid in fixing VSS issues. Thanks for the help vssadmin 1.1 - Volume Shadow Copy Service administrative command-line tool (C) Copyright 2001-2005 Microsoft Corp.

error ( Cannot Connect On Socket )
Hey Everybody, I was working on a Issue, The error ( Cannot Connect On Socket ) occurs while trying communicate a Client from Master server. Checked BPCD logs and test the connectivity b/w client and master, which is not happening. Found that "Windows Firewall" service is running on the server. Now by disabling the Firewal this issue could get resolved. But my concern is ( as Firewall is used to protect the server from virus or any harmful objects ). Why we have to Disable it ? Why NBU connection failed when server is Behind firewll ? Why can not we take backup along with Firewall Enabled ?Solved28KViews1like12Comments
BackupExec Agent for Mac OS X Server not working
I cannot seem to get the BackupExec agent for OS X Server working. I have an XServe running 10.6.4 and RALUS/RAMS 2896.9 (2010r2). I have gone through the installrams script and verified everything is correct. All ports between my server and the backup server are open while troubleshooting this problem. The admin for the backup server has verified everything is correct on his end. Whenever he goes to connect to my server, it is killing the remote agent on my server. I have restarted with the logfile option and can attach if needed. The only thing that stands out to me is that some of the dylib's are not being loaded even though I have added that directory (/opt/VRTSralus/bin) to my DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. Everything else looks normal, at least to me, but the agent is killed when the backup admin tries to connect to it from the BackupExec Console.26KViews0likes6Comments
