Folks,

Wondering if anyone has seen this issue. The first time I saw it a few
months back, I ignored it as a one-time issue.  But it just happened again
so I am digging deeper.

This time (don't recall what the OS/client version was for the first
incident) it is a Windows 2008 R2 server with BA 7.1.0.0 (yes I know -
0-releases are always problematic).

OS tech noticed the backups failing and went to investigate.  Trying to
start the CLI - it hung.  Checked the dsm.opt file and found it
blank/empty? It has been backing up for a long, long time with no reason to
make any changes to the dsm.opt file.

AFAIK, the only thing that should be mucking with the dsm.opt file, aside
from manually editing it, is replication.  So, is this replication related
or a client bug?  Did some quick Googling without any luck on a known
problem/fix.
