A strange problem has just cropped up with an image backup on Linux. The server is 5.3.4.2 running on AIX, and the linux client version is 5.2.2 (I know it is old, but we have some 'legacy' issues).
This just started happening, as it has been running literally for months without any problems. The entire image is transmitted, yet the backup fails: Backup Image Function Invoked. Using static image backup. Session established with server ADSM0: AIX-RS/6000 Server Version 5, Release 3, Level 4.2 Data compression forced off by the server Server date/time: 05/23/07 04:54:09 Last access: 05/22/07 23:21:36 ANS1228E Sending of object '/dev/da0' failed ANS1304W Active object not found ANS1813E Image Backup processing of '/dev/da0' finished with failures.

Is the ANS1304W the problem, and what exactly is it trying to say? Like I said, this has been working for months and just started failing a few days ago. Anyone seen this before? TIA, Bob
