Networker uses RPC calls.  You need portmap to be running on both client

Thank you for the response, although I'm not certain it is fully useful. On
these machines (linux web and mail servers) I'm not running portmap, so port
111 is inactive. I'm pretty sure I need to provide access to ports 7937-7938,
but I still get the "Service not available" message. The second nsrexec
instance on port 7938  *is* Legato's version of the portmapper. Indeed, the
backup seems to be working correctly. I'm just concerned about the error
message -- whether it hints at other troubles down the line. -Gary
