I had a similar issue a while back.  When I tried to un-mount and re-mount the 
DD boost devices (both of RO and Write) it complained that the Networker server 
couldn't because it was going through space reclamation.  I ended up restarting 
the Networker services to stop the reclamation process and then the restore 
worked fine.  I have a case open on this with EMC to explain why space 
reclamation is effecting my ability to do restores.

Subject: [Networker] Windows restores hangs and dies

Hi folks,

I need to perform a restore on a windows server 2003 machine.

NetWorker bersion is 7.6.3.

After I start the networker user, I change the browse time and navigate through 
the filesystem tree to mark the files I wanna restore. Then I change the 
location and hit the recover button. Shortly after that the GUI hangs and 
nothing happens. If I wait for a couple of minutes I get the message: networker 
server busy: waiting for 30 seconds then retrying. But still the GUI hangs.

I tried it from two other machines (windows server 2008 r2 and windows xp) with 
the same result.

On my networker server I can see the browse session and also a request for the 
datadomain boost-device where the data should reside. volume is mounted.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
JayJay
