It fails at the beginning of the restore. Yes both master/media/client are the same - 6.0 MP4.
I will double checked dns, and it looks good. I tried it using a host file as well - same error occurrs at the same time. All files exist, and the boxes are checked to be overwritten. Any other thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: Martin, Jonathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 10:25 AM To: Jones, Courtenay [Stock]; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Exchange restores Does it fail at the beginning of the restore or the middle? Are client and server version the same? I had a "known issue" similar to this trying to restore from a 6.0 MP4 Master to a 5.1 MP6 client. In the end Veritas was little help and I just upgraded to 6.0 MP4 clients. Double check (as usual) DNS Lookup (We're not "accidentally" writing to production are we? I'd be 100% sure with HOST files just to rule this out.) How about reverse DNS, for Master, Media and Client?! Does the database location exist? I.E. if the database pointing to G:\SG1 does G:\SG1 Exist? Yadda yadda, check box for overwrite etc... -Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 10:00 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Exchange restores Enviroment: Win2k3 Master - 6.0MP4/ Exchange 2003 I am working on doing some DR documentation and am receiving an error when I attempt to restore one of our information back to a test exchange server. 10:07:49.970 [5436.6072] <2> bpbrm write_msg_to_progress_file: (8.001) TAR - Microsoft Information Store:\SG1\DB1-1 10:07:50.142 [5436.6072] <16> bpbrm main: from client wosraltcmx011.ds.wolseley.com: ERR - unable to create object for restore: Microsoft Information Store:\SG1\DB1-1 (BEDS 0xE000FE30: A communications failure has occurred.10:07:50.142 [5436.6072] <2> db_error_add_to_file: dberrorq.c:midnite = 1185508800 10:07:50.142 [5436.6072] <2> bpbrm write_msg_to_progress_file: (8.001) (8.001) ERR - unable to create object for restore: Microsoft Information Store:\SG1\DB1-1 (BEDS 0xE000FE30: A communications failure has occurred. 10:07:50.142 [5436.6072] <2> bpbrm write_msg_to_progress_file: (8.001) ) The test exchange server is named identically to the server in production (we are in a lab enviroment). The results from the bpclntcmd come back correct. The netbackup master server was restored from a catalog backup, and the buffer setttings are identical. We are simply attempting to overwrite a SG - we are not using a recovery storage group. The databases have been marked that can be overwritten.
