Mike,

I just tried the latest Mac NetWorker client on the latest Mac OS X 10.7.2 beta 
build with a backup to a Data Domain system. 

At first, nsrexecd refused to start, but the message it left in my Mac's log 
file explained exactly why it wouldn't start. You need to edit the /etc/hosts 
file on the Mac client to enable the ipv6 local host entry (which is there, but 
commented out). After I made that change and manually restarted nsrexcd on my 
Mac, I was able to back up my "Downloads" directory as a test. It is 6GB in 
size. I then recovered roughly 1GB worth of files. A "diff" of the recovered 
files showed no difference between the original and the recovered files.

Also, the command to manually start the NetWorker Mac client in the 
installation guide is incorrect. To start nsrexecd, open a terminal window on 
your Lion Mac and type the following command:

 sudo launchctl stop com.emc.NetWorker

The installation guide includes a path on launchctl, which is incorrect.

Also, I strongly suggest that the best approach to running Lion in an 
enterprise environment is to wait for at least the 10.7.2 update, if not 
longer. There are known issues mapping CIFS folders on Lion 10.7.1 and a 
problem integrating Lion clients into Windows Active Directory domains. I am 
running the GA version of Lion at home and it is truly wonderful, but running 
it now on any Mac that is used for business-critical work would be a mistake.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

On another subject, I am trying to raise money to help fight diabetes through 
the American Diabetes Association's annual Step Out to Fight Diabetes 
walkathon. The walkathon in which I participate is next Saturday and I am well 
below my $1,000 annual fundraising goal. If anyone would like to support me in 
my effort to raise money to find a cure for diabetes, please click on 
<http://main.diabetes.org/goto/StanHorwitz> to make a donation. A donation in 
any amount would be welcome. If you would like to donate in currency other than 
United States dollars, you can do so via PayPal by submitting a payment to me 
via my PayPal account stan.horwitz AT gmail DOT com and then I will use my 
credit card to make a donation in the same amount (after the currency exchange 
is calculated) in your name and attribute it to my fundraising total. If you go 
the PayPal route, please send me a mail privately to let me know. Thanks.
