I'm confused about something. I have a directive that says
 
 << "X:\" 
  +skip: .
 
 ("X:" being a Networker AFTD drive, on a Win2003 storage node 
 running NW 7.5.2) 
 
 I thought that directive would skip trying to backup anything on 
 that drive at all, just not access it at all. Instead, I am seeing
 
 * admnlts003:X:\ 7281:save: VSS snapshot failed with error 
 0x80042301 -- VSS Backup or Restore is not in the correct state for 
 the operation, or the writer is not in the correct state..
 * admnlts003:X:\ 7284:save: Networker will save the files without 
 the snapshot. 
   admnlts003: X:\                   level=full,      0 KB 00:00:03    0 
files

 And I don't understand why Networker is trying to access the drive 
 at all, much less why the VSS error is coming up. If Networker was 
 not trying to backup the drive, it wouldn't have initiated VSS at 
 all (if I am understanding how VSS works, in conjunction with 
 Networker). Why is Networker trying to save any files at all, with 
 or without a snapshot?
 
 So I seem to be confused somewhere, but I can't tell where. Can 
 anyone shed some light?
 
 Thanks
