This is a list of NT Status errors that are common with BRC replications:

Backup 'Backup Job' on Device Failed --- Error - Communication error: NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT
 Unable to communicate with remote host. This may be due to networking issues or misconfigured credentials.
 Errors occurred learning about remote client.
 Errors occured while setting up the task to run.
Backup "Backup Job" for Device Failed --- Error - Communication error: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_RESET
 Unable to communicate with remote host. This may be due to networking issues or misconfigured credentials.
 Errors occurred learning about remote client.
 Errors occured while setting up the task to run

Solution: Please do the following to resolve the above issues:

  1. Log into the server having issues.
  2. Open the Services Panel or run services.msc.
  3. Restart axexesvc and axfltsvc.

Note: Axfltsvc may not show up in the services menu. That is normal.

If none of the above steps resolves the issue, please contact Axcient Support.

  4. Click on Edit Device.

Solution: This can occur if there is not enough memory on the server. Please schedule a reboot of the server as that will free up resources for the backups.
