Solstice Backup 5.1 Administration Guide

Backup Not Found in Expected Location for Solaris Client

On Solaris, Backup executables are installed by default in /usr/sbin/nsr. If you start a group backup on a Backup server that does not have /usr/sbin/nsr in the search path for root, the backup fails on a client that has its Backup executables in /usr/sbin/nsr. This is because the savefs command is not in the search path.

The best solution is to set the Executable Path hidden attribute for a client that has this problem. To set the Executable Path, display the Clients attribute in details view and enter the path of the executables, /usr/sbin/nsr, in the Executable Path attribute.

Another solution is to modify the search path for root on the Backup server to include /usr/sbin/nsr even if it does not exist locally.
