This issue has been solved. See solution.

Hello all,

 

On the Windows 2008 NetBackup Client, disable the Symantec API called NTIO.  This will cause NetBackup to use the Microsoft API called 'BackupRead' - which does not encounter the same timing error.

 

STEPS TO DISABLE NTIO

 

1. Click Start | Run, type regedit, and click OK

 

2. Browse toHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config

 

3. In the Config registry key, create a new key called NTIO

 

4. In the NTIO registry key, create a REG_DWORD value, give it the name UseNTIO and the valuedecimal  0 (zero)

 

 

Does this needs a reboot , Please advise.

Altho' I know you've already found it yourself (wink), just for completeness on the discussion as a whole, looks like this one:

HI,

You can restart netbackup client service.

Changing registry values does NOT require a reboot, they are "applied" immediately

Thanks In Advance.
