Hi there,
I am after some advice for an old Veritas NB 5.1 version running on HP-UX and would appreciate some help and guidance please.
Just to clarify, i understand that this version is extremely old and unsupported but unfortunately, there is no appetite from the decision makers to allow for an upgrade as the servers this NB solution supports are due to go out of support by the end of this year we are told. But i digress.....
So, we have an overnight backup that completed, and then from 8am each day, we take duplicates of the overnight backups, to be sent offsite for offsite storage.
Typically, the "duplicate" run from 08:00 till approx 17:00 each day but a few days ago, the backup was only showing as being approx 50% completed by 22:30 so i cancelled it. We have seen a few of these delays recently but we are unable to spot any pattern so suspect technical difficulties somewhere in the backup solution. Data volumes have not increased - by and large they are stable
I have saved the following files from the server but frankly i'm not overly NB familiar so the contents mean little, although i have search for errors but can't seem to find anything of relevance :
admin / bpbkar / bpbrm / bpcd / bplist / bprd / bpsched / bptm / hp-ux syslog
Also, i have saved screen shots from the Veritas NB job details which i have attached to this post which *seemed* to show no activity or stalling between 10:19:09 and 17:32:50
Would someone be able to give me some guidance as to what might be the issue please or some guidance as to any *classic* or *typical* things to check for and in which of the logfiles
Am happy to share any further logs or system config which may be of use and help get to the bottom of this.
Many thanks in advance
