Description After an FSE backup process is aborted or the FSE server is restarted due to power outage, new
FSE backup cannot be started.
Explanation The aborted FSE backup process did not remove the lock file backup.pid from the lock
directory. This file is used to prevent starting another backup process while the first backup
process is still running.
Workaround After verifying that no other FSE backup process is running at the moment, manually remove the
file backup.pid and start FSE backup once again.
For the exact path of the lock directory on a particular platform, see appendix ”Directory
layout”.
Description After you restore the FSE server from a tape medium that stores only one FSE backup image,
the status of the medium will be 'empty'.
Explanation At the time when the backup was started, the tape medium was empty. Since restore reverts the
complete FSE server state to the moment when the backup was initiated, the statuses of backup
media are also reverted.
Workaround As this situation will resolve automatically after a new backup image will be created on the
same medium, you can ignore the erroneous status.
