Been running the same backup script - pre + and post for several years and has been running successfully until... this week
Tracked down problem -
When trying to put the Vault stores into or out of Backup mode - the process hangs
either from powershell or from gui
from the gui - the message box reports:
"updating Vault Stores Backup mode..."
and there it stays
a look at the message queues - apart from the A5 - all else is zeros, no journaling is done
Placing the indexes into and out of backup mode works all okay
problem remains AFTER restarting the EV database server and EV server
no errors in event logs
by 'killing' the gui or powershell - shows the backup mode HAS changed - so I am guessing the there is some other activity as part of the setting or clearing the vault store backup mode that is causing the hang
Any thoughts ?
