1) DON"T use windows client 5.3.0. Get a 5.3.2 or 5.3.3 client. 2) In my experience, when TSM says the Windows directory is corrupted, it really is.
If upgrading the client doesn't change anything, run some diagnostics on that Windows filesystem. (I always tell customers they get a "free directory structure checker" when they install TSM....) -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Choate Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 9:55 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: fioScanDirEntry error messages while backing up a windows file server Any one seen this before?
