I had a similar issue once where everything worked except database backups. Its turned out (a the time) the same IP had two PTR records in DNS. Try nslookups of Host and PTR records on the client's names and IPs and see what you get back from DNS. Alternately hardcode the hostnames and IPS w/ host files and see what happens. -Jonathan

I currently have 1new Linux media server, I am able to run backups through this media server with no problems. But when it comes to running the following command; /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpbackupdb -v I keep getting 54 time out connecting to the client. When I run the bpclient command every thing comes back great. I use the following switches ( -pn -ip -hn -self). Any ideas? thanks Matthew Johnson System Backup Administrator Information Technology Operations 2835 N. Naomi Street Burbank, CA 91504-2024 Tel. (818) 955-6357 Fax.
