Hi,

We have a Windows 2000 client that nwadmin clearly shows is backing up.
I can see the byte counts for C:\, D:\, etc. In fact, I just ran an
incremental on this guy and it reports like 40 MB for C:\. However, when
I check saveset recover, the last entries for all savesets are from the
end of August! Next, I try running a full on say D:\ and same thing.
This client is writing to a pool that DOES have indexing turned on.
There have been no changes to the host that I know of that would cause
this weird behavior. In fact, I even ran 'nsrls clientname' both before
and after the backups, and the size of the index is larger, with more
records. Something like 'du -sk ./clientname' or 'ls -lRt clientname'
clearly shows that the index is being updated.

If I run an mminfo command like: mminfo -s server -q
'client=clientname,savetime>01/01/04', the last entries reported are
from Aug 2004, nothing later. Seems both saveset recover and the
database seem to think there's nothing after Aug. The browse policy on
the client is 2month and the retention policy is 1 year. Client is
running 6.1.1 and server is running 6.1.1 on Solaris 2.8. We have a
Linux storagenode running 6.1.1. Most clients, including this one, are
handled by the storagenode.

I do not see this behavior on any of our other windows machines, and
this is the first time I have ever seen anything like this.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

George
