Ruhail, 

Networker includes a software tool on Windows servers called the "Networker 
Change Journal Manager" that tracks which files are changed and MAY be used 
instead of the native process built in to Windows.  I was told back when I took 
the Networker Admin class that the Change Journal Manager was more efficient 
than the built-in tracking system for Windows, so it theoretically improved the 
backup performance, but was NOT a requirement for Networker to function.

The Change Journal Manager can be assigned to monitor specific drives --- C: 
and D:, but not F: --- for example.

In order to manage which devices are tracked by the Change Journal Manager, log 
in to the server in question, navigate via Start -> Programs -> EMC Networker 
and one of the options should be "Networker Change Journal Manager".  Use the 
pulldown to select "All NTFS Volumes" and clear both the "Networker Uses Change 
Journal" and "Enable Change Journal for Selected Volumes" checkboxes.  Apply 
your changes and you should be good to go.

We've encountered this error before on Win 2000 systems and stopping the use of 
the Change Journal resolved the issue.

Also, as someone on the forum noted a few days ago, there is no support from 
EMC for restores of Windows 2000 clients anymore as the OS is unsupported by 
Microsoft, so you may wish to turn up the heat on the system owner to migrate 
to a supported platform.  I've generally found that if I start the conversation 
with "I'm here to tell you that I cannot guaranty that I can recover your data, 
the applications or the server itself for server X, as Microsoft and the backup 
software company we use no longer support that OS in any fashion.  Have you 
given any thought of how you intend to move this over to a supported 
environment?" generally gets them thinking about the situation pretty quickly.  
Also, I'd put it in writing and make sure the appropriate management gets a 
copy, just to be on the safe side.......
