We have a 3.4 master/media set, and when backing up any 2.5.1 clients (using
3.2, latest patch, Veritas services built the package for us, etc, etc), we get
this error. Yet the backup succeeds. Seems like either a program bug or
documentation bug that this gets thrown out to clients (Solaris) that aren't
capable of using OTM. Maybe it gets tacked onto all backups with a yes/no at
the end of the switch?
