Solstice Backup 5.1 Administration Guide

Backup of Clients Fails to Stop

During a backup, you attempt to stop the process by clicking Stop in the Group Control window. This should stop the process for all clients in the selected group, but sometimes a client is missed. You then see messages that indicate the server is still busy.

To resolve the problem, on the client machine, determine which clients still have a save process running by using one of the following commands:


# ps -aux | grep save

or:


# ps -ef | grep save

This command returns a process identification number (pid) for each process associated with save. Enter the following command to stop the save process for each pid:


# kill -9 pid
