[mqing at csee.wvu.edu]

Hi Everyone,

I am new in system administration. I have a problem to do the buck up by
using solstice 5.1 at my first day. Thanks in advance for all your help.
I got the error message on one of my client Kilby when I did the daily
back up the error message is:
Sep  3 01:17:58 beverly root: Solstice Backup Savegroup: (alert) CSEE

Yesterday it gave me more hint on the error message after I tried to
restart the deamon of the backup server:

/var/nsr/index/kilby to beverly failed

I figured it out the problem is the index, I have done the
nsrls -f /nsr/index/kilby/db command, there is nothing there. So I
shutdown the deamon and rebuilt the index of kilby by nsrck -c kilby.It looks fine, but I still get the error message this morning on kilby,
plus there is a problem occurs for my another client zuse. I cannot ping
zuse but I can ping kilby, I think it may be the net work problem for
zuse. I just don't know why and how this happened and what's the problem
for my baby kilby.

Does anyone know why this occurs, and how to solve this problem?

I do appreciate your valuable advice.
