that would be the save -n flag will do everything bu the actual save.

Good point.
You might want to try a manual backup on this system, where you run 'save
F:\' in such a way that you can capture the output; 'save' will generate one
line for every file that it backs up; that way, you could see if any
directories are skipped. There may be some way to have 'save' run and just
walk the directory tree without actually saving anything, but I don't know
of it.

Could it be that the skipped directory is set up as a mount-point in
your Windows client configuration?

It would would be a nice feature for Networker to give some
warning/error/explanation when it decides to ignore W2K directories
containing billions of bytes of data . Yes thats whats happening here .
Its happened on 2 different W2K servers of dissimilar configurations.
The setup is
1) W2K server running Networker 6.1.2 client (or greater) 2)Solaris 2.6
running Networker 6.1.2 or 6.1.3 server Heres the ugliness
In one case the drive on the W2K box was 'E:\" in another case "F:\". In
the client setup I said 'ALL' for the savesets. After the backup runs
you see that a particular directory(lets say XYZ) containing in one case
70 GB data does not get backed up. Review of both server and client logs
shows NO ERRORS/NO WARNINGS . This is not good.Further inspection of the
backup results shows that some of the data on "F:\" was dumped , only
XYZ was ignored. I then go on to discover that by listing the
directories explicitly (F:\A F:\XYZ F:\FUBAR) every thing gets dumped .
This is not a good solution for obvious reasons .
I have been struggling with this issue since last October. Legato
'technical' support must not think its much of an issue since I'm the
only one reporting it.(We go through a 3rd party for support).
Is it a Networker BUG? W2K BUG? Networker Config Issue? W2K Security
Issue? W2K Config Issue ? I don't care . I have supplied every log
available form both server and client,every configuration detail from
both server and client. Silence . All manner of back up tests run .
Silence
If you have a configuration similar to ours you might want to double
check your back up results.
Heres some real data.

Slight difference between 424 MB and 71 GB
