Richard,

 That's exactly what I thought. The upside is we are only archiving one
directory D:\BACKUPS\ARCHIVE\* for this particular node so omitting the
-des field would likely solve my problem.
 Thanks for the information.

Brian - The web client has been disappointing.  If possible, use the native
        GUI, or dsmc -pick, which will show the files.
As for the server-based schedule:  I don't see any way to get variety in
the Description field without omitting it, in which case the archive date
will be stored, like "Archive Date: 07/11/01".  Multiple archives per day
will not be unique, but archives on separate days will.
