In regard to: [Networker] 7241:savegrp: nsrim run recently, skipping,...:

I was able to backup one of the savesets

F40115L4       ******   11/17/11   6 KB    full  /factiva

So i think if we put the directories in Saveset box we can have backup,
but question remains same: Why it failed with Saveset: All?

In one of your earlier posts, you mentioned that the client was running
the networker 7.4.1 client.

I don't think 7.4.x is still supported, but even if it is, the early
releases in 7.4.x had a number of problems.  If you're going to use
the 7.4.x series, I highly recommend you upgrade to the last point
release, probably 7.4.5.something.

Beyond that, there are several things that can cause "nothing to save"
messages.  I've seen it in several different instances over the years,
sometimes because the version of the client software didn't correctly
support the OS & version of the client, and other times because of client
index corruption or because the client index data was being saved to
the wrong index.  You may wish to try a

        nsrck -L6 clientname

on your networker server, to do all available index checks for that client
index.

There was an earlier suggestion, I believe from Chester, to use
(on the networker server)

        savegrp -pvvvv -c your_client_name_here your_client_group_here

and I also recommend you try that.  Once that completes, whether it works
or not, have the admin on the client run

        nsr_render_logs /nsr/logs/daemon.raw

and send you the output.  That might also contain a clue as to what the
problem is.
