also getting these errors in the log for a WIN2003 client
WRN - Content Indexing Server: unalbe to pause catalog System (some files may
not get backed up)
WRN - Removable Storage Management: unable to export database [WIN32 21: The
device is not ready]
I'm trouble-shooting a problem where at least one file is not getting backed up
in the differential incrementals when the SA assures me that it changes daily.
Anyone come across these errors before and know what they mean and how to fix
the problems? Thanks.
Running NBU 4.5 FP5 on Solaris 8 with WIN2003 media servers.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Outlook .PST datestamp change --> Backup overload
Hello,
Thanks to anyone who responded to my previous question
regarding "Restore: putting required tapes w/o having to
redo the restore".
Now another problem is, again, with .PST files. I noticed that
Microsoft Outlook changes the date stamp of all attached
.PST files upon exiting Outlook. And also, for certain users,
the .PST file date stamp gets changed at a seemingly fixed
frequency even while Outlook is open and no change is done.
For instance, I've got a user where the date stamp gets put
to current date at every 4 hours.
This situation makes nearly all .PST files being backed up
every night, even if there is no change to the
files and backups are incremental. This creates an overload,
and fills out the tapes
uselessly and too quickly. On a daily incremental backup,
80% of backup space is occupied
by those .PST files just from 2 Windows servers, and the
remainder is for our hundred UNIX machines including servers.
We're also running out of time in backup windows because of
that.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Louis-Luc
