We had a strange issue when we upgraded to 7.2 from 6.1.3.  On all NDMP
backup clients where we had an entry in the "Application Information"
attribute as "FILESYSTEM=/vol", the backups were not pointing to the
right data location.  NetWorker will backup a few kilobytes of data and
ironically would report all backups as green.

We eventually found this out when our index size was far lower than what
it looks normally.  Legato advised us not to use any parameters on the
"Application Information" attribute that are NOT listed in the NetWorker
Admin Guide.

So if you have upgraded to 7.x and are using NDMP, please make sure you
have only the supported parameters in the client definitions.

We have requested Legato to raise a product alert (not yet acknowledged
so far) because the situation is far more serious.  It does work in the
previous version but doesn't after upgrade - and this goes completely
unnoticed.

Regards, Ram.
