Backup over FTP gets stuck at 99%

[i80r]

Hi everyone!

Recently I've stumbled upon a strange behavior of the backup process over FTP. When backing up from GAIA the process gets stuck at 99%. Now there seem to be solutions for it already like sk118752  and sk100403. However, the provided solutions only interrupt the current backup process in my case. When starting the backup over the same thing happens once again.

Further investigation displayed that backup files are getting fully transmitted at around 36% and after that the connection from checkpoint is closed and nothing is transmitted to the server.

FTP Server Log:

Other appliances in the same network behave correctly.

Has anyone had the same problem or where do I start debugging on the checkpoint?

Anything in an fw ctl zdebug drop maybe?

Hi PhoneBoy,

Nothing. Just stops the upload at the exactly same time as before and zdebug is clear.

I had this happen twice with customers and once guy got sick of waiting on TAC to provide a good suggestion, so it worked after rebooting the gateway. 2nd time, they gave us something that worked, but I cant recall what exactly...wil see if I can find it.

K, found it...2nd time, IPS update was the issue. So, if reboot OR IPS update dont solve your problem, then Im out of ideas, so you may want to get TAC case going.
