This is the thing though; with a remote admin console (non Java version)
on Windows-based machine (connecting to a Unix Master), I can't browse
either, so it doesn't look like it's an issue with using the Java GUI.
 
Cheers,
 
Tim

The browsing Tim appears to be talking about is on the backup selections
tab in a policy so the server must get a list of file systems and files
via the agent on the client, not physically mount file systems.
 
I think it is just a feature (or lack of) of the Java GUI. We are mainly
a Windows based shop and I can't browse any client file systems using
the Java GUI whereas I can browse both UNIX and Windows clients with the
Windows GUI.
 
Regards
 
Richard

         been like that as long as I can remember.
         
        a unix host can't natively mount a windows share.....(ie NFS vs
CIFS) so a unix master/media cannot inspect the filesystem of the
windows client to "browse".

                Hi,
                 
                We've found some differing behaviour in regards to
browsing backup selections using NBU6; A Windows Master appears to be
able to browse Unix\Linux files systems on clients, whereas a Unix
Master does not appear to be able to browse Windows (the path has to be
entered manually).
                Is this as expected? Does anyone know why?
                I'd guess it has something to do with the GUI; on Unix
(java GUI), there is no button to browse, and although a remote admin
console in Windows (connecting to Unix Master) has a browse button, it
isn't actually an active operation on the Unix Master (or something like
that).
                 
                Cheers,
                 
                Tim
