Sandy Have you tried using a different tape to backup the DB? How large is it? Is there any logging enabled to see at what point the backup of the DB Fails?
Also, is it stored on a disk with sufficient space? What is the retention periods? You could use bpexpdate to force them out of Netbackup, and assuming the tapes are ok, you would need to Import ALL of the tapes in 2 phases (from experience I can say it's a real nightmare to do and takes approx 5 hours PER tape!)

I am pretty much constantly getting 84's. I know it's an old instance and before I go down the road of modifying the database backups (I have narrowed it down to the fact that the databases are too large / cannot span tape) I want to check with you folk. Is there any way to determine the specific failure point on the database backup? Can I remove some older tapes from the database and be able to import them again? If I can reimport, are there any gotchas I should be aware of? Thank you Sandy Elrick Calgary, Alberta The information contained in this e-mail message is PRIVATE.
