OK, so EMC/Legato has done it once again. Most of you know what I'm talking about, and those of you who don't, here's the story:

Once again they have released a version of networker that is completely unworkable in a large production environment. The nsrmmd processes hang so often that it effectively kills networker from within in 24 hours. I'm not sure if we've experienced any index corruption or similar, but it sure as hell isn't working good.

This is not the first time EMC/Legato releases software that is unusable for what its sold for. But releasing a minor bugfix version with new bugs like this one sure makes you wonder if they have any quality control at all.

Oscar;

I am sorry to hear about all the grief you're experiencing with NetWorker 7.3.3. Just out of curiosity, what is your NetWorker server configuration (server, OS, tape library)?
