I have Tiger installed on one G5, and NetBackup Enterprise 5.0 is  
failing with "backup of client xxx exited with status 57 (client  
connection refused)." It stars the process bpbrm, connects, begins  
writing, and then the connection to the hose is refused.

All the proper firewall ports are open (and firewall logs don't show  
any errors), the client software has been reinstalled several times,  
and all settings on client and server confirmed. Still, Tiger is not  
being backed up.  There's no telling what changed in Tiger to break  
this process.

Veritas' answer is that OS X Tiger is not supported, and they can't  
tell me if Tiger support in the feature list for NetBackup 6.0.  I  
will not upgrade anymore clients to Tiger until I hear something from  
Veritas about this, which is no big deal, really.

Is anyone else working with Tiger and NetBackup Enterprise 5.0 having  
any success?
