Problems with backup, cannot connect on socket(25)
Master + Media servers: Netbackup 7.0.1, Windows Server 2003 R2 Clients: Netbackup 7.0.1, and 6.5.3, Windows Server 2008 (non-R2) Getting consistent failures on 3 clients lately with error 25 on the child job, cannot connect on socket(25) Happens with Full and Cumulative Incremental backups. Have tried the following: Rerun the jobs during the day (normally run at night) - Still fails Created a brand new policy (not copying the old one) - Also fails Telnet to BPCD port - Successful response from all servers to the clients Adding the required network interface - Still fails Changing the timeout connections - Still fails Pinging/NSlookup/bptestbpcd from the master/media servers - Everything appears to be fine Running bbps while the backups are starting I can see vnetd and bpcd start on the clients, but still it always fails with cannot connect on socket(25) Any suggestions on things to check? I will post logs below.Solved14KViews1like7Comments

I have exported a months worth of data from the activity monitor, this export includes incremental, differential, and full information. The problem I'm having is some of the jobs like the SQL jobs have a (job schedule) that is full_onsite,Default Application,SQL - application and full, I'm not quite sure if I should be adding all of thesebackup into the monthly totals. Also is there a tool that I can run that would give me a Monthly totals? ThanksSolved6.9KViews5likes13Comments
