Microsoft's OS sets up a registry key something like "files not to back up" (search MS knowledge base for details) that all backup software vendors are obliged to honor. That, or their paths appearing in an applicable exclude list, are all that would cause local files to be ignored. Files which aren't ignored as above, but can't be backed up (locked files, for instance) will cause a status 1 and be listed in the Problems report. ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu This email is for the intended addressee only.

FWIW, the Windows admin console in 6.0 reports the client version for
Windows clients. We are only running 6.0 at the moment so I don't know
if it will report the version for pre-6 clients.

I'll go to my corner and cry now ;-)
Guess I'll report on the UNIX boxes (which seem to play OK with
bpcoverage and just report the major version number for windows boxes.
Very annoying as to the untrained eye it would seem to be easy to ensure
that this worked :-(
Thanks for the replies anyway

This was done via a spreadsheet until I found a box with 3.2 on it and decided that enough was enough :-( For our UNIX/Linux boxes this can be done using a loop over the output of bpclclients that calls bpcoverage. However what I have noticed for Windows clients is that it only reports the version number and not the patch level (apart from a couple of NT4 boxes on 4.5FP6 bizarrely). Our master and media servers are on 5.1, most clients are on 5.1 with a few ancient machines on 4.5. I logged a support call with Verimantec and the response was - nope not implemented...sorry! Anyone know how to remotely get the NBU patch level installed on Windows machines from a UNIX master server? It simply can't be done. Various versions have reporting things differently. You'll have different results with bpgetconfig, bpcoverage, and using other unsupported hacks, but there is no one consistent way to get the versions across all clients. .../Ed I'll go to my corner and cry now ;-) Guess I'll report on the UNIX boxes (which seem to play OK with bpcoverage and just report the major version number for windows boxes.
