NetVault Backup installer fails during push installation

Description

Push installation fails for a target client.

Symptom

The following error message appears in the task log:

NetVault Backup installer for the core package failed with error 1.

Solution

There are several reasons why an installation can fail. The information in the installation log file can help you diagnose and troubleshoot the issue. You can find the log file in the system temporary directory. (The TEMP environment variable for system account determines the location of this directory; this path is typically set to %windir%\Temp.)

Depending on the stage at which the installation process fails, the installer may create a file named netvault_{GUID}_install.log or bitrock_installer.log (or bitrock_installer_nnn.log).

If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact Quest Technical Support.

 

VSS-based backup fails

Description

When performing a VSS-based backup, if the VSS writer fails to generate a snapshot, the job fails.

Symptom

The log messages show the following errors:

•
Failed to add extra items to the selection tree.
•
Failed to prepare the selection tree and backup options.
Solution

These messages indicate a problem in the VSS subsystem. NetVault Backup cannot complete the backup job if the VSS subsystem is not functioning properly. Before you run the job again, we recommend that you do the following:

•
Delete the existing shadow copies. (You can use the Vssadmin or DiskShadow utilities to delete the shadow copies.)
•
Restart the applicable VSS writer service.

Modifying TCP/IP socket buffer size on Windows

Description

Cannot modify TCP/IP socket buffer size on Windows.

Symptom

Slow performance occurs on Windows when data is transferred over a LAN. Changing the window size using any network tool (for example, IPerf) does not change the buffer size.

Solution

On Windows, the registry settings must be modified to increase the TCP/IP buffer size. For more information about these settings, see the KB article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/823764 from Microsoft.

Restores using Data Copy savesets fail on clients running NetVault Backup 10.0.1

Description

When restoring a Data Copy saveset on a client running NetVault Backup 10.0.1 or an earlier version, the job fails.

Symptom

The restore job reports the following error:

Failed to get index.

The trace logs contain the following messages:

New style index.

Corrupt index file, version number invalid.

Solution

On NetVault Backup Server 10.0.5 and later, the Plug-in for Data Copy creates index version 4, which is incompatible with earlier versions of NetVault Backup. A client running NetVault Backup 10.0.1 or an earlier version cannot read these index files, causing the restore job to fail.

To restore Data Copy savesets generated from NetVault Backup Server 10.0.5 or later, the client must be upgraded.
