Vijay,

     What's your NT client level ?
     As of client level 3.1.0.5 volume labels don't play a part in the
     server side filespace administration. Filespaces are named after the
     clients UNC partition name, exm. \\machinename\c$.

     If you're already past 3105, well then I haven't seen this problem
     before, but I've had other obscure NT problems which we're resolved by
     using (first trying) the latest client fixtest level

     regards Walter Ridderhof

ADSM backups failing because of duplicate volume labels, eventhough the
physical drives have different labels.

This is found because of   subst like  "W:\: => C:\WINNT\Profiles\ADMINI~1"
error message:

Backups can be completed by removing substitutions,  by  "subst  w:  /d"
and rerunning backup again....it completes fine.

But as subst is server admin controlled, adsm backups have no control on these
settings.
Is there any way to avoid the failures, due to subst,  when we backup the
physical drive,
and not the substitution-drive.....

I appreciate your inputs.
Thanks, vijay.
