Gerald,

That's the way it works.............  Veritas does the same thing, the
return code is 1 though.

I will give you some advice, exclude the dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log ,
these files are written to when a backup is happening.

No need for them to be backed up (my opinion)  your backups will always
fail if you include them.

I would also exclude the  c$\Documents and Settings\Administrator\*  path
...  If a user forgets to log out, there going to dink your backup.

Subject:  winNT client failure


I have a 4.2.1 WinNT2000 Client that is failing it's backup with a
return code of "4"..

Is it just me or does it seem abnormal for the client to fail the backup
simply because it failed to backup a few files that were open at the
time of the backup? My understanding was that the backup would always be
*SUCCESSFUL* in this case.

Looking through dsmsched.log It looks to me like a successful backup.
The only error I see is on three files (the rest is filled with
successful backups of files and system objects):
