Frequently Asked Questions
What are the prerequisites for restoring NMM 8.2.x or earlier backups?
Check the dedicated section in the manual for specific requirements. General prerequisites include checking supported Microsoft .NET Framework versions and server/client NetWorker versions.
How do I fix an issue with a cached public key on the NetWorker server's local hosts resource?
To correct this, delete the NSR Peer Information on the backup server using the command: nsradmin -p nsrexec -s bv-rcserver
The VSS writers are showing inconsistent states after installation; what should I do?
Restart the client host. Once restarted, observe that the VSS writers return to a consistent state, and then retry the backup.
Can the system reboot during NMM setup if .NET Framework 4.0 is pre-installed?
Yes, the system may automatically reboot if a granular recovery option is selected while .NET Framework 4.0 is already installed. Follow Microsoft documentation for reduction guidance and rerun the installer after reboot.
