Please respond if you have seen this problem.

While testing with NetWare 5, I have been unable to get a backup of
SERVERSPECIFICINFO.  Testing was done with the following configuration(s):

     NetWare 5 server running NDS 8 with support pack NW5SP2, NW5SP3A installed.

     NetWare TSA.NLM v5.00, v5.01, v4.16. v4.15

     NetWare client versions 3.1.0.7E, 3.1.0.7M, 3.1.0.7N, 3.1.0.7O

     ADSM server version 3.1.2.40 running on MVS.



When I try to run a selective or incremental backup of SERVERSPECIFICINFO, I get
the following error:

10/28/1999 20:00:58 (TSA500.NLM 5.1 262) This program cannot create a file.

Specific Info' failed
10/28/1999 20:00:59 ANS4024E Error processing 'Server Specific Info/Server
Specific Info': file write error



An incident (00230,180,000) has been opened with IBM.  They seem to think it is
a rights issue, but I can guarantee you it is not as I am running with an admin
equivalent ID.

All other backups of the SYS: volume and NDS directory (only one partition) run
OK.  Only SERVERSPECIFICINFO gives me the error.

Any thoughts ?
