Were windows and it's been so inconsistent for us we just complete a
"mminfo -B" out to file and email that instead.

I've read psoni's follow-up post saying there was a comms error, but  
it's also worth pointing out that various versions of NetWorker have  
for some reason failed to work with any additional bootstrap  
notifications. This has been an error limited _only_ (so I've been  
able to tell) to bootstrap notifications. The original notification  
would work, and would continue to work no matter how it was modified.  
Additional notifications however would not fire off at all. This was  
particularly prevalent as a recurring bug in earlier 7.x releases.

(Sounds like it's not happening to psoni in this case, but if anyone  
else has had this problem the solution may be that you have to upgrade  
your NetWorker to get access to secondary bootstrap notifications.)

Cheers,

Preston.
