[Veritas-bu] Can't backup Windows 2000 NTFS drive with 3.4

Hi

If this was the case that you could map a network drive and then back it up, 
what would have been the use of Netbackup client software? You could then just 
have had a master/media server and mapped the drives of the systems you want to 
back up. 

I don't think it is possible to do this type of backup, but then again I might 
be wrong.

Thanks for your clue.

I mean I'm mapping a network drive from another machine.
I modified the class (policy) and set 'yes' to 
"backup network drives".

Now it seems to attempt to do so, but I still get an error
message saying: "WRN: Can't open directory K: (WIN32 5:
Access Denied)". Then I get the status code 251 because
I request a TIR file but it turns out to be zero byte.

Thanks for helping.
