Two things are needed for

Two things are needed for successful client backup:

  1. Port connectivity
  2. Hostname lookup

For port connectivity, you need vnetd (13724) open in both directions between server and client. As from 7.0.1, PBX (1556) will be tried first, then vnetd if PBX fails.

Forward and reverse lookup is needed - client needs to resolve server IP address to hostname that appears in client's SERVER list. Check DNS and/or hosts file on server and client to ensure successful forward and reverse name lookup.

Do the following to troubleshoot:

Create bpcd log folder on client in netbackup\logs folder.

Run the following from cmd on the master/media server:

bptestbpcd -client <client-name> -verbose

Please post output of command as well as client's bpcd log file.

Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows.

update your host file on master / media  / client

I think you need to update your host file as shown in below....

192.163.3.44     myserver01     myserver01.mydomain.com

If this post has helped you, please vote or mark as solution.

Before break-up, make sure you have a good backup.....  ;-)
