I'm seeing Retrieves fail on certain older files. The error is ANS1301E Server detected system error.
These are files from 2003 or earlier on NetWare file servers and they have odd archive date attributes as a result of fixed McAfee anti-virus issue. The file's Last Archive value will be something like: Last Archive: Thursday April 27, 2795 5:33:40 AM In other words, these files are several hundred years in the future as far as the archive attribute is concerned. Restores of the same files work fine, presumably because backups/restores ignore the archive attribute. The TSM client levels I have tried are 5.2.3.0 and 5.2.3.13 on NetWare 6.5 SP2 The TSM Server is at 5.2.3.2 on Windows 2000 I've read the client manual on what TSM looks at to determine if a file has changed for backup purposes but there isn't the same info for archive considerations. Would I be correct in believing that the excessive archive attribute is what's causing the errors? How does TSM look at/use the archive attribute for archives/retrieves? We can reset the archive attribute using NetWare utilities but the certainty that the problem is correctly diagnosed would help. thanks, Andrew Ferris Network Support Analyst iCAPTURE Research Centre University of British Columbia
