Description

The NetVault Backup Service fails to start on a Windows-based NetVault Backup Server.

Symptom

Check the Windows Event Viewer to see if it displays the following message:

PDT FATAL: lock file “postmaster.pid” already exists

Solution

After any change in the IP address of the NetVault Backup Server (for example, due to reassignment at reboot by DHCP), you must clear the browser cache before logging in to the NetVault Backup WebUI. Otherwise, the login may fail with a message that the server is not accessible. Alternatively, you can assign a static IP address to the NetVault Backup Server.
