|---|---|
3864545 | Restore, duplication, or verify of NDMP backup fails. The bptm log shows error 'create_ndmp_frag_info: The size of this backup image (0) (nnnn) has been modified'. The steps in TECH177654 do not solve the problem. |
3869844 | NDMP backup finishes with a partial success, but backup selection fails with error messages. |
3873176 | An NDMP Restore from backup fails with partial success and error messages. Note that this EEB must be in place before you attempt the backup. |
