Re: [Networker] VSS failed to initialize for directives

Hello Scott,

Running the save command with Debug level 3 might yield more info --
something like this in a command window on the Windows 2003 client:

save -s ecnfds.ad.intra -vvvvv -m nrgpad2.nrgnet.intra -L -D 3


See below for the output.

I tried googleing for the "error 1232 on CheckRecurse" message butcouldn't find any useful information....

One of the things that EMC Tech Support has me try is to stop NW

enable Removable Storage Service; try using NTBackup (getting the

then either start to work, or continue on merrily failing. :-)


Tried it, the ntbackup indeed succeeded without any problems.
Alas, the networker backup kept failing... *snif*
