Hi,

I am currently getting a problem backing up our Netware 6.5 SP5 server
running the Networker client 7.2 Combi1 patch.

The backup of the volumes SYS, MAIL, ARCHIVE  get backed up more that once.
When the backup of the volume completes its starts all over again and and
this can happen from 2 times to 4 times.  On the odd occasion it only
happens once and finishs properly.  The repeats fill up our 2 (~40GB) DLT
tapes. {Incrementals are OK}

Server side is Networker 7.2.1 Build 311 running on W2k SP4

In the daemon.log I get the error

Would the nwlib6g.exe (Novell patch) fix this RPC error perhaps? It is Beta
at the moment so I am a bit reluctant to put it on.

Many thanks for any help
