Hey Robert,

That(extra characters) is what I figured was happening also.  But I
don't see anything via nsradmin or in the nsr.res file.  I was hoping
someone had run into this before.  Thanks for the guess though.

Joel

I'll take a guess..
Perhaps there's are some extra control characters or something in your
alias list??    I'm not familar with windows but perhaps look at the
entries via nsradmin or the nsr.res file on the server.

If that's not it, then perhaps the dns or reverse lookups are failing at
the
time of the backup for some reason?
