Hello,
After being on hold for 1.5 hours with support only to be told I was in the wrong que I searched the knowledge base endlessly for an answer and came up with nothing.
I decided to google insted and found Nathan's solution here:
If the credentials check fails and you can browse your Novell directories in the selection list it is a bug in the software. Just go ahead and run your job. This was according to Nathan. I did and guess what? The backup job accessed my Netware server fine!
What a waste of a friday night!
Supposedly going to be fixed in SP 1
Now I am going home :)
