One thing I have noticed about NW 7.4.2 is that if you have to "kill" a backup 
session, if you do so in a Windows environment using something like Process Explorer, or 
kill a savegroup, the sessions in Networker do not actually drop off.  You have to go to 
the client and kill the save process on the client to stop the session completely.

In 7.2.2 land, when you stopped the process or savegroup on the server, it 
stopped the sessions from the     client(s) as well.

Anyone else seen this?

I have noticed similar issues with 7.3.4 as well. Savegrp is still running on the server, save processes are still running on the client, open sockets between the Networker server and the client (as seen by netstat -an) and no processes on the server (such as nsrexecd) which I could kill and terminate the session. This is bad since clearing the situation requires client credentials (which are not always available) or restart of the Networker server (I couldn't find another way).



Maybe its a RTFM, but I've looked for things in the Admin Guide for settings or functionality that would make this the case, but I don't see anything. Kevin
