Jeff,
Make sure that you have the latest NLM's for the Novell server installed
from patch 341_3a. there was a known bug in the 5.2 code that abended the
server when multiple backups were run. It was fixed in the 341_3 release and
is also in the 341_3a release from April 19, 2002.

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] netware abends if more than one backup isrunning
OTM has been disabled from the beginning; our boxes abended from the
start with OTM on. I was referring to multiple backup jobs coming from
the same client; so netware1 doing an Offsite full and then a daily
incremental starts up and the server abends.
The master server is 4.5; is there a compelling reason to upgrade the
netware clients immediately? Major bug fixes, et al?
Thanks.
