It's easy to come to this conclusion in situations where multiple restarts of 
the NetWorker services do nothing, yet a stop, clear-out of /nsr/tmp and a 
restart of NetWorker does achieve the intended goal.

While it's certainly true that in some instances a simple restart might be 
sufficient to clear issues, it's also the case that there are various state 
files in /nsr/tmp which you will sometimes find yourself needing to erase in 
order to restore functionality after particularly unpleasant hardware issues.

Cheers,

Preston.
