Hello again,

More info. I've deleted the client definitions. Then 'nsradmin' command
doesn't return any results. I've created first client and 'nsradmin' outputs
one client.

After creating second one (controlzone) then a query for 'zone' returns both
clients. The problem is that an update for a client updates the other client
too. And, when doing a backup, NetWorker does some kind of query that
matches both clients and then results in the error explained in my previous
messge.

Any idea? If you have a server under Windows 2000 (version  7.1.2) can you
try to recreate this problem?

If I query using FULL NAME then the query returns both clients (is an
error). If I query using ONLY NAME then the query returns only one client
(ok). So I suppose that NetWorker is doing a matching starting from the end
of the string to the left. Why?

nsradmin> show name;aliases;save set
nsradmin> print type:NSR Client;name:zone

                        name: zone.mydomain;
                    save set: /, /data01, /data02, /data03, /data04, /home,
                              /home2, /logs, /usr, /var;
                     aliases: zone, zone.mydomain;

nsradmin> show name;aliases;save set
nsradmin> print type:NSR Client;name:zone.mydomain
                        name: controlzone.mydomain;
                    save set: "C:\\", "E:\\", "F:\\", "SYSTEM DB:\\",
                              "SYSTEM FILES:\\", "SYSTEM STATE:\\";
                     aliases: controlzone, controlzone.mydomain;

                        name: zone.mydomain;
                    save set: /, /data01, /data02, /data03, /data04, /home,
                              /home2, /logs, /usr, /var;
                     aliases: zone, zone.mydomain;

Please, any help would be very appreciated!
