Clients are running ADSM 2.1.0.6 and we are using AIX server 2.5.1.13

Our problem:

Our NT clients are experiencing failure of their backups when ADSM
encounters illegal NT file names that contain meta characters such as
(*?:\"<>|)  ADSM does not skip the illegal files, it skips the entire
drive and sometimes terminates the backup all together.  The problem
stems from some users saving URLs which contain these characters within
a web page's address. Is there any way to exclude these files or to get
ADSM to ignore them and continue with the backup?
