Hello,
We have 5 Windows clients that keep getting the status code (156) snapshot error encountered error for Incremental backups.
I did the following procedure
To confirm if VSS or VSP open file backups are activated:
1. Within the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Host Properties in the right hand pane
2. Within Host Properties, click Master Server and then the double-click the name of the Master Server in the right pane
3. Click on the Client Attributes section
4. If the client in question is listed here, click on the client name. If it is not listed, add and click on the client name.
5. Click the Windows Open File Backup tab
6. Ensure that Enable Windows Open File Backups for this client is not selected if open file backups are not required>>>This was originally selected/enabled and everything was fine for a while however, recently the the status code 156 start occurring (every night) so I then I unchecked the Enable Windows Open File Backups for this client.
I am still getting the code 156 errors, these servers backups were backing up fine until a few weeks ago then all of a sudden they started getting the status code 156 errors.
Either I don’t have the following logs or there’s nothing in them to look at
bpfis log
bpbkar log
FYI – These are NOT VM backups
Windows 2008 standard SP2
NetBackup Client is also 7.5
Netbackup 7.5 running on Linux
Thanks in Advance!
