I should also add that in the case of Windows 95, 98,
and NT, an OS return code will say "Win32 RC=nnnn".

Hi Bill,

The rc=104 is an ADSM return code in this case, which are
(as I am sure you already know) documented in the API header
file dsmrc.h. From the header file:

#define DSM_RC_FILE_NOT_FOUND      104 /* specified file not found
          */

Maybe something was going out and deleting files just before
ADSM was able to back them up?

By the way, you can usually differentiate between OS return
codes and ADSM return codes. Typically the ADSM return code
will say "rc=nnn", while the OS return code will say
"errno=nnnn".

Best regards,

Andy
