Back up by Nim

Hello

I have a Nim master and from here I backup all my nim clients.

My last backup I have a issue, I can backup all of them except one.

I made I test trying to backup this one alone and I get this error.

0042-001 nim: processing error encountered on "master":
0042-006 m_mkbosi: (From_Master) connect Error 0

I check the hosts file in both boxes, check the ping by name and by ip. The files niminfo, .rhosts dont have changes.

Everything looks fine.

Thanks for your comments.

Greetings

If you know the nim tcp port, you can try telnet host port, from various hosts, to see if there is a firewall or listener issue there. Check 'man telnet' for the escape keys if telnet locks up.

This looks very helpful for nim and network problems:
