     Hi folks,

  Perhaps someone can help me here.

  I've the following problems , perhaps you can give me a hint. :

1.

We're working with NT 4.0 (with service pack 1 applied) and the ADSM
client V2.1.05. Scheduling service is active on the NT server and we're


backing up to an AIX with server version V2.1.02. De AIX starts de
incremental backup operation. We're backing up PDC's and BDC's this way.
Whenever it's starts the first message in the DSMERROR.LOG is as follows


:

11/25/1996 15:03:37  FioGetOneDirEntry(): *** Access to NTFS file
security information denied, file/dir skipped ***

Backup continues, and there are no failures in the DSMSCHED.LOG and the


backup finishes with no errors...

But still the first message gives me a doubt about succesfull backup
operation ?

2.

I backup a directory structure with NTFS security applied through the GUI


and Incremental Backup. The backup went fine. I then delete the directory


structure on the HD, en start a restore. The restore looks ok but I had


no NTFS security anymore.....
If I choose a different location it workes ok and NTFS security is
restored  as well. I even booted the system after the backup and started


a restore, same failure.
Is this a bug ?

3.

When restoring a Registry, and I enable the option "Activate Key after
Restore"
The restore to the ADSM.SYS structure goes fine. It starts with 'Restore


function invoked' en ends with 'Restore procesing finished' it then
starts the 'Registry Restore Function Invoked" and I get the following
error :

Replace Registry Key: Rootkey 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', Subkey 'SOFTWARE'
ANS4436E An Error Occurred replacing the Key.
ANS4431E Registry Restore Function Failed.

I don't want to install an another copy of NT on te same machine to be
able to completely restore NT without open dll's files etc.
I guessed the option 'Activate Key after Restore' would do the trick for


me, apparently not. Should I copy the ADSM.SYS files manually ? but then


again how do I get the system started so I get a prompt when the system


start failes if I haven't got a bootable second NT availeble ? Should I


put the ADSM.SYS all together in the SYSTEM32\CONFIG structure ? If so,


how ? etc.

4. My fourth problem concerns EXCLUDING files (are you still reading ?)

This is my EXLUDE list :

Exclude "*:\Microsoft UAM Volume\*"
Exclude "*:\Microsoft UAM Volume\*.*"
Exclude "*:\Microsoft UAM Volume\...\*"
Exclude "*:\Microsoft UAM Volume\...\*.*"
Exclude "*:\...\EA DATA. SF"
Exclude *:\...\*.swp
Exclude *:\...\*.obj
Exclude *:\...\*.csm
Exclude *:\...\*.dsk
Exclude *:\...\*.bak
Exclude *:\...\output.log
EXclude *:\...\win386.swp
Exclude *:\...\386spart.par
Exclude *:\...\pagefile.sys
Exclude *:\...\*.par
Exclude *:\...\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\*.*
Exclude *:\...\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\...\*
Exclude *:\IBMBIO.COM
Exclude *:\IBMDOS.COM

Exclude *:\...\Machome\...\*
Exclude "*:\...\Temporary Internet Files\...\*"
Exclude *:\RECYCLER\...\*

The problem is the excludes of the last 3 statements (Machome,
Temporary.. and Recycler)
On a NT 4.0 Workstation this workes fine, but on a NT4.0 server not.
There should be no difference I guess.
The exclude of the Machome structure workes fine, but not the next 2 ,
they are backupped anyway!!
Any suggestions ? I treid different ways the exclude them. No succes.

Then there is a file backup problem which a haven't figured out  how to


exclude. When a MAC user uses the NT server I see sometimes files with
the name 'ICON? ' which ADSM has problem with. I cannot exclude them ,
How come ???
When I look at the file through the Explorer the name is something like


"ICON| ".
