Hi folks,
Has anyone else run into problems restoring data from NDMP backups? We've got a NetBackup v4.5FP6 (recently upgraded from FP5) setup, with one master and one media server. Both are Sun V880s running Solaris 5.9. We have an ADIC I2K library with six LTO2 tape drives, one of which is dedicated to NDMP backups.
We have six filers currently doing NDMP backups running various levels of Data OnTap. Mostly 6.3.1R1, though we've got one that's been upgraded to 6.4.5 for testing, and one still running 5.3.7R3D12 (which I know I need to upgrade...)
The problem is that restores kick off just fine, the metadata is all restored (though with Dec 31, 1969 as the date) but then it just bogs down and stops restoring data. Eventually it times out and we get an error 5 in NetBackup.
We've even tried restoring data from a 6.3.1 client backup to the 6.4.5 toaster, in case it was a problem with the restore end of things. No luck.
Any hints would be appreciated.
