I have been doing some more research on this problem and have discovered that none of our VM images with spaces in their names are duplicating. In our vault jobs I see a lot of this sort of thing: File List: banapp2_1266795268 Illiad01%20-%20InterLibrary%20Loan%20System_1266795366 EMS3%20-%20Event%20Management%20Server_1266800758 sjs%20-%20Spectrum%20Justice%20System_1266802623 02/26/2010 04:33:52 - begin reading 02/26/2010 04:34:14 - Error bptm (pid=29098) cannot write data to socket, Broken pipe 02/26/2010 04:34:14 - Error bpduplicate (pid=24824) host netbackup.geneseo.edu backup id Illiad01%20-%20InterLibrary%20Loan%20System_1266795366 read failed, media manager killed by signal (82). 02/26/2010 04:34:14 - Error bpduplicate (pid=24824) host netbackup.geneseo.edu backupid Illiad01%20-%20InterLibrary%20Loan%20System_1266795366 write process failed, client process aborted (50). 02/26/2010 04:34:14 - Error bptm (pid=29089) media manager terminated by parent process 02/26/2010 04:34:15 - Error bpduplicate (pid=24824) Duplicate of backupid Illiad01%20-%20InterLibrary%20Loan%20System_1266795366 failed, client process aborted (50). So a word of warning to anyone that goes to 7 and uses VMnames to select your VMWare backups, Vault apparently cannot duplicate those VMs that uses spaces in their names. I am in the process of changing the name of one of the VMs that previously failed to duplicate to something without spaces and will re run the duplication and see if that resolves it. I expect it to as our VM images without spaces seem to duplicate just fine. This also would not be a problem if you stick with using the hostname in your policies I presume. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shawn Plummer Systems Manager CIT SUNY Geneseo "The mind can make substance, and people planets of its own with beings brighter than have been, and give a breath to forms which can outlive all flesh." -Lord Byron _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
