Hello

We have Veritas Backup Exec for windows V10 with SP1 and other post SP1 patches.
We have also latest remote client agent for Netware.
On windows everything works fine.
When we want to backup Novell Netware 6.0 SP5 we get following errors:

-(Server: "VRTACA") (Job: "NWCOMA.NetWare File System/NWCOMA/Server Specific Info:") This backup set may not contain any data.
Backup of "NWCOMA.NetWare File System/NWCOMA/Server Specific Info: "

I've upgraded all the tsafs stuff I can find on the boxes but I can not get rid of these errors.

Any ideas out there?

As per our previous reply, marking the case as "assumed answered" and moving it to "answered questions" pool.

actually it isn't answered.. I am not using OF manager. I did copy the files to these volumes from other older existing hardware. I do not have the space or time to make copies somewhere else and copy the files back so I can not verify the assumption in the TID
