ACS 5.3 incremental backup error

[gaboughanem]

Hi ,

I have ACS 5.3 that recently having problems with the incremental backup.

The error is : on demand back failed

and the details is: SQL Anywhere backup utility connection error: insufficient system resources- failed  to allocate a SYSV semphorenull .

I mean come on.... and I did not find this error on cisco website.

The ADE.log file is not showing errors/details related to this. Atttached are the files showing the errors

Have anyone faced this problem before? Ideas? Anything?

Regards,

George

Hi George:

with 5.3 I experienced many issues including the incremental backup does not work. whenever I set it to "ON" next time the scheduled backup comes It fails and set itself back to "Off'. I did not get same message you get though.

I finally did two things:

- upgraded to latest patch.

- moved the log collector from the primary to the secondary.

Now things are fine for about 1 month without issues.

Regarding your issue, I think it could be related to resource issue as mentioned in the message.

What is the current DB size that you have?

Note that the message is misleading (messages I got with my ACS are the same) because they mention incremental backup in the message title and then say on-demand full backup failed!

So, you have to specify yourself if the issue with the incremental backup or the full backup?
