Same here, just got into work, 2 streams failed - restarted, but as the backup window closed at 6am (got in at 6:30am) it went straight to 196!
 
so............. perhaps this IS the behaviour of the system! As you said, if the window is open, no doubt the job will run.... but you would have to reconfigure the frequency I believe :-)

That is precisely the error I am getting.  Sorry I wasn't more descriptive.  I've got a remote site with about 3 TB to backup which takes about 40 hours on their hardware.  The window opens Friday night, and runs through Saturday.  Now if that looooooong job fails because tape #3 of the backup set is bad, and I try to restart the job Monday morning (or Sunday / anytime after the window closes) it goes strait to 196.  So my idea is to keep the window open until Monday morning, which gives me plenty of time to restart the job - but that's not a great solution because I don't want the backup job firing at 8:00AM Monday morning if the library gets backlogged (for whatever reason.)  I suppose I could use priority to solve this, but why can't I just manually restart jobs that have failed?  I'm still looking for solutions... hmmmm

Ahhhhh I see - ok so MAYBE, if a job initially fails with 196 (backup window closed), and you attempt to re-run, it may automatically fail again.
 
Now this is interesting, because another site that uses the method you described complained the job re-launched but got 196 straight away!

I've just double checked, on a machine that conveniently failed it's backups last night.. :-)
 
The job in question was a single stream of a multi stream backup, which had failed with an error 156. The job was "Done", not suspended. The window closed at 6am this morning. I right-clicked & restarted it and the new job for that stream came up in activity monitor after a couple of seconds.
 
Interestingly, the new job came up as a "Scheduled" just like the original. I thought the manual restart might have made the new job an "Immediate".

I always thought you would get a 196 status (Backup Window closed). I assume you restarted by choosing a stream that failed and right clicking on it and selecting "restart job" ?

I've restarted streams after window closure, it seems to work OK.

It is my understanding that I can't "restart" a failed backup with checkpoint enabled unless it is still in the backup window?  Is this correct?  Also, does anyone have any tips on using checkpoint and large backups?
 
Thanks,

keep in mind that in order for BMR to work properly, clients must be on the same VLAN as the BMR server, in order to boot.

Good Morning
Well so far, so good - got a more stable NBU system - one SAN Media failed its backup, but not bothered about that and its running fine now!
 
I wanted to try and cover some grounds with any NBU win2k3/NT/2000 environments, about how your NetBackup environment is configured and what failover you have in place or DR plans.
 
I have been looking at BMR for NBU6, but I run 5.1 MP2 which has been extremely stable for us (if you exclude the manual intervention of someone destroying it!!!), and have not been fully convinced about going to 6 yet.
 
BMR works and integrates with 6, but from a DR point, I am not sure if this is the right method to go down.
