[Veritas-bu] FW: Full system restore on a MacOS X 10.4

Got it worked out. Turned out the starting point was a disk image that was more than a year old. Some new applications had been installed and others upgraded during that time that needed to be captured in the restore, along with web content and other data files. The thing to do for the restore job was deselect the Library and System folders (though we did need what was in /Library/WebServer). Once we did that, the restore job ran to completion and the system came up clean after a reboot. We finished up by applying the latest cumulative patch update for the OS and everything appears to be running well at this point.

Thanks to all who responded.

Subject: Full system restore on a MacOS X 10.4

We had a disk failure on a MacOSX 10.4 (tiger) system and need to do a full system restore. The disk has been replaced and the OS reinstalled along with the NetBackup 6.5.5 client (which is what it was running prior to the crash). If I select the entire system for a restore, the job bombs out with status 25 -cannot connect on socket. I think this is the relevant error message:

Error bpbrm(pid=27196) cannot connect to cocmpxserve, Interrupted system call (4)

Does anyone know what has to be deselected for the restore to be successful?
