Robert,
Have you checked the dsmerror.log in case there is some message there that
hints why the wrong management class is used for directories?
Can you reproduce this with the command line client? Create a new directory,
such as /home/robert/newdir. Add a file or two. Then back it up,
e.g.:
dsmc i /home/robert/newdir/ -subdir=yes
Then query the directory backup:
dsmc q ba /home/robert/newdir -dirsonly
Does it show the wrong management class? Check dsmerror.log. Are there any
messages there?
Also run:
dsmc q mg -detail
And examine the MGLAW management class. What does it show?
Best regards,
