hi,

you will later see, if you doesn´t remove this client,at a backup of the 
backupserver this messages,because the server cannot purge
the savesets. so you can controll to,if they are old.another way is to control 
how old are your /nsr/index entries with ls -ltr and
look on your browse/retention policies and says ok,this one is old,there´s one 
old, and so on.

nice greetings,dennis



[root@backupserver logs]# grep purge daemon.log

not a registered client) 06/11/04 10:05:03 nsrd:
