Hello everybody,

I had some answers to this problem which I posted last month, but none
of them solved the problem, neither did Veritas.

Today we found out what caused it: The PC had a software called
PrivateWire (Cylink Corporation) installed on it, and for some reason it
causes NBU backups to abort with error 66 or 24.
Since many of our administrative managers use it - I thought it might be
useful for others too.
