Cannot create .dr file

I am trying to set up IDR on the second server in a domain. The first went fine the second is giving problems. It complains that there is no .dr file. I reinstalled the agent and rebooted the server. I ran a full backup of the server (first drive/volume) and there are no global or selection exceptions. I checked the directory indicated in the settings and it does not show a .dr file for this server. The only help files I can find talk about editing the registry to force a .dr file to be created when there are exceptions. Should I do this anyway and then run a partial backup to create it? Thanks.

    Hello Simon
    Does your backup exec behave as described in the technote and still not create the DR file?

    Have you installed the IDR option?
