BE Can't Login to the Target Server for NDS Backup

[clay71260]

Many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction on this one!

I have one backup job that runs nightly. The job fails to “log in to device” during the “Novell Directory” portion of the job BUT works during the “NetWare File System” portion.

Any idea how this is possible? It seems to me that if my BE server could login to gather NetWare File System information that it could also login to get the Novell Directory information.

I have attached the first part of the log file below. For security purposes I have replaced some things with “<xxx>”

Clay,

Try logging in to the Backup Exec program using the full context for the Backup Operator.

Example: .backupoperator.ou.ou.o = login name
