Re: [Networker] how do i resolve vss errors during client backups?

 
Well, based on all of the comments I've seen here about 7.3 & 7.4 we'll
stay with 7.2.2 for a while.  This is a problem I can live with since
it's just an irritating message and not any fundamental problem with the
backup working.

That's a bug in the windows clients from about version 7.1 through 7.3.2
- upgrade your client to 7.3.3 to make it go away...
