Networker requesting for wrong pool

[demola]

I run a a networker 6.0.1 on a solaris server.

I have been having problems backin up some NT machines on the network.
The backup waits at the index save, requesting for tapes from the default pool.

My none of my pools are restricted to save levels.

Does anyone have a solution?

It's probably trying to write the index and bootstrap to the default pool. Try taking out the entries for savesets in pool and group. They are not needed here since they are configured in the clients section. I had the same problem too, and this fixed it.

I do not have any entries for savesets in the groups or the pools.

You have a bad configuration somewhere in there so Networker is just trying to do what it is supposed to do when it can't figure it out and save to Default.

You may want explicitly write index and bootstrap in the Save Sets box of the pool properties to which you want it to write. It's hard to tell, though, without knowing your setup.

I noticed that the servers backup properly when manually started from group control but when backup starts automatically I get the default pool mesage.

Any ideas?
