[Veritas-bu] problem with TIR and exclude

 I've just recently defined a new class for a system using the
 True Image Restore option and I'm receiving an error message
 related to an excluded partition on the system.

 Basically the Files list for the system is,

        ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES

 and the client's exclude list has defined a partition that
 looks like

        /usr/local/nscache/

 When the backup runs, I'm receiving the following error message 
 via e-mail,

> Subject: Backup on proxy1 - 251 started
> 
> Backup on client proxy1 by root failed.
> 
> Status = the tir information is zero length.
> 
> File list
> ---------
> /usr/local/nscache

 The backup itself runs as expected, such as all of the other local filesystems
 are backed up correctly and the /usr/local/nscache partition is excluded.

 Running 'bperror' against this client, I'm seeing the following information,

> 
> 251    proxy1.wright class_d4         full_backu mailserv.wr 05/24/01 
> 22:06:29

> 23:18:23 
>                  (the tir information is zero length)
> 

 At this point, I'm wondering if I missed something in the documentation 
 related to TIR backups or if this is some type of incompatibility with
 the Files specification?

 Any information would be greatly appreciated.
