Is this a netware client? If so then the backup will be broken up into 2GB chunks, and you will see each chunk listed with <1> <2> and so on.

A bit of a guess but has this something to do with continuation files, if you look in the daemon.log do you entries with taxsne:<1> in it?

Hi,
I have to backup a directory with several, but not so much, files (
24000 ).
My savegroup completion mail logs that I have backed up much more files
than I expect; this, sometimes, seems to be normal because, backing
up /usr/users/app/one/two/three/file.txt I don't backup only 1 file but 8
( all dirs and subdirs and / are included in this count ).

Just to check, I made a query to my index db, and I discovered, using
nsrinfo in this way:

nsrinfo -t 1135161769 taxsne

that several files like
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<1>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<2>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<3>/

are included in the list.
Obviously these files are not included in the recover process and I don't
see them using the recover command in the interactive mode, but the file
count is not correct and the customer is not able to understand what all
these files mean ( and me too ... :-(  )

There is somewhere an explanation about this nsrinfo behaviour?

Thenks a lot in advance for any suggestion
