Andy, sounds like a good start:

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I see 2 other situations that might be relevant:</div>
<div>1. All the same .cop files not installed</div>
<div>2. Attempting to restore a backup of a different version</div>

<div>What is the exact error? What do DRS logs show?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I see one report that after re-install dbreplication is not established leading to "Unable to send network request to master agent. This may be due to Master or Local Agent being down”</div>

<div>Resolved by resetting dbrepliaction for all nodes.<br>

<div dir="ltr">So I thought that if a CUCM could backup to and sftp server without issue, that it would be able to restore.
<div>But that turns out to be wrong.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The cluster can backup to sftp without issue, but when I try to restore said backup, the restore seems to make a large amount of ssh connections and times out saying the DRS maybe down of the sftp server is tacking too long to respond.</div>
<div><br>

<div>this is the sftp server syslog output.</div>
