Thanks for the quick help. the problem now remains with nsrinfo: when i run
'nsrinfo myclient' for the first time, it gives a long list of all files
backed-up God knows when. when i try to run it again, specifying the
backup-time as i should, it just says "scanning client `myclient' for all
savetimes from the backup namespace", but no output gets generated. what is
going wrong?
Note: i tried this for different clients, always from the client itself (i
have no remote access enabled). always the same result. what i can see is
that i have an nsrindexd process hanging around on the nsr server, consuming
1.2% CPU. No backup activity is currently under the way. Should i kill it,
and try again?

thanks in advance,

michael
