SAM backup was interrupted but will not restart

[Mary Capistrant]

I was backing up my ignite server using SAM and did a c out of it (dumb, I know). I selected the option to 'save its state' but now I cannot get the backup running again.

I am doing the backup on a remote system's tape drive and was able to run that system's backup on that tape drive.

I can bring up SAM, see all of the mount points, add in the remote system and its tape drive, select OK and nothing happens.

Is there a process to kill? I could not identify anything that is running from the time that I first started the original backup.

Many thanks

Hi Mary

Check fbackup processes and kill them.

#ps -ef |grep fbackup*

Restart backup through SAM. If unsuccessful, reboot the server

Many thanks for the help! I could not find any fbackup processes but rebooting did the trick.

cheers,
