Help! problems with Arcserve. Can someone decrypt the logs ?
Hi everyone, We use samba 2.0.4 and are very glad of it. However, recently I had to add a backup facility on our network, so we plan to purchase Arcserve IT for NT, in order to backup our servers. We are using mainly 3 Linux servers and 1 NT server, which runs the backup service. However, as Itried to add a simple share on the file server to enable backup, later I encounter problems with arcserve. Arcserve first tries to compute the amount of files it has to backup, and tries to get the list of files on samba server. The main problem is that it takes a VERY LONG TIME, as if the arcserve program was waiting for something between each file name. The NT is NT Server 4, working alone on its own domain. The samba server runs on Linux, and acts as PDC for another domain. authentifications works well. I include here a part of the logs, if someone can help me to understand what's happening, because there is surely something I forgot to do... :) Please look especially to "error" lines. +++++++++ [1999/05/28 08:56:33, 2] locking/locking_shm.c:shm_del_share_mode(376) del_share_modes num entries = 0, deleting share_mode dev=808 ino=1574994 [1999/05/28 08:56:33, 3] smbd/open.c:fd_attempt_close(158) fd_attempt_close fd = 8, dev = 808, inode = 1574994, open_flags = 2, ref_count = 1.

I just wanted to ask why you do not set up a Linux server for backups, it's faster and more reliable (and can do most backup hardware nowadays). Regards, Michal

Help! problems with Arcserve. Can someone decrypt the logs ?
In response to your mail, Michal, I have to say that We would like to use Arcserve for historical reasons. Until 1 year we didn't used Linux, and discoverd this very attractive and powerfull platform. Then we choosed Arcserve because of its facility to backup lots of Windows NT clients. I still haven't found such a program for Linux, that can run clients on Win NT/9x machines in order to backup them. However, We use (Yes, I know it's a mistake) Microsoft Exchange Server for mails, and only Arcserve has clients to backup this dinosaur. Anyway, perhaps can I give a more detailed description of the problem: When estimating the files to backup, it takes a very long time. Both machines are linked together trough Fast Ethernet, and it takes approx. 10 minutes / Gigabyte or more. Then when it runs, the backup performs well, until a certain time, and then it stops to work. Acrserve error code is NETWORK ACCESS DENIED. Moreover, If I try to browse the sharing with an explorer, it crashes also (Network path not found), as if the connection was broken. I can't find anything in the logs. The only way to recover this is to log-off and log-on again. I actually don't know if the problem is on the Arcserve or on the Samba side. If you have time to waste, it is possible to ask for an evaluation copy of arcserve backup. (It works for 30 days). Something important: the NT server is NOT on the same domain than Samba server. I did not managed to force the NT server to go on the Samba domain. Is it possible ? Thank you again.
