Backup of of one of my Linux clients has entries logged (v5.1MP3) such 
as this:

08/01/2005 14:39:55 ash cress.msln.net from client cress.msln.net: WRN - 
Old TIR file /usr/openv/netbackup/tir_info/var/www/vhost/443/m/e 
rpdocs.maine.edu/NetBackup_file_info.WkEndStdPolicy is missing. Backing 
up everything in /var/www/vhost/443/m/erpdocs.maine.edu.

In each case, the directory displayed is a file system that has been 
excluded. 

If I were to guess, I'd say that no TIR file was written because the 
file system is excluded, and now (on a later incremental) NetBackup is 
complaining about no TIR file before realizing the file system is 
excluded.   NetBackup is, correctly, not backing up the excluded file 
system, but reports this message.

Have I correctly described what is happening, or have I misinterpreted 
what NetBackup is trying to tell me?

Thanks and cheers, wayne
