I am guessing that this isn't a 5.1 or higher client, since RC 4 should not result in a failure. For 5.1 and higher, return codes are in the client manual chapter on "Automating tasks". For versions below 5.1, return codes are not documented and you can not necessarily attach any special meaning to them. You need to check the client schedule and error logs to see what the problem is.
There was a bug in the 4.2.1.0 client that caused skipped files to result in backup failures. 4.2.2 and up fix this problem.

Does anyone know where a list of THESE return codes are? A reference of some sort? Not server return codes or Unix scripting return codes but client event return codes? Any assistance would be appreciated thanks!. 07/07/03 12:10:27 ANR2579E Schedule DAILY.INCR in domain NUN.UNIX for node EAPPS.BACKUP1 failed (return code 4). --Justin Richard Bleistein Unix/TSM Systems Administrator (Sungard eSourcing) Desk: (856) 566 - 3485 Cell: (856) 912 - 0861 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
