ANS9999E during backup

[Sunhillow]

Hi together

on backup of a NAS filesystem I get these messages in the dsmerrorlog every day:

14-10-2010 03:21:55 ANS9999E ntrc.cpp(939): Received Win32 RC 1463 (0x000005b7) from GetBackupStreamSize(): uc_CreateFile. Error desription: The symbolic link cannot be followed because its type is disabled.

14-10-2010 03:24:59 ANS1512E Scheduled event 'DAILY_0130' failed.  Return code = 12.

The dsmschedlog however looks good, the errors are embedded in "normal" log content:

Is there a way to find out which file or directory the client does not like?
Client is 5.5.3.0 Win x64, Server is 5.5.4.2 on AIX

Thanks in advance

Have you found additional info in eventlog?

No, there is nothing peculiar in the server eventlog.

Maybe my Windows specialists know something as the error is being returned by the OS.

*lol* this occurs when symlinks gets stuffed into an os which is not capable.....

read further and have fun:

This is it

D:\>fsutil behavior query SymlinkEvaluation
Local to local symbolic links are enabled
Local to remote symbolic links are enabled.
Remote to local symbolic links are disabled.
Remote to Remote symbolic links are disabled.

Now i have to make clear if they intentionally use symlinks in Windows. Or maybe one of our MAC users did so
