Hi!

We have experienced the same thing at one of our costumers sites.

The files were, as in your case, mostly IE favorites and shortcuts.

When we took a closer look at them though, we found out that these files
that TSM were having problem backing up, were in fact 0 bytes large,
and corrupted.

Our solution was simply to let a Novell administrator force a delete on
these files.

Normal files with spaces in filenames etc. are being backup up without
problem.

Regards,

Hello everyone,

I ve got a question: My backups display error messages that TSM can t
process files or directories which include blanks (for example files in the
IExplore Favourites). The files or directories are represented as the
letter y+two dots.
The problem is related on Novell NetWare TSM-Clients.

Has anyone had the same problem and could you tell me a solution?

Thanks a lot,
T.Strecke
