VCB ( Vmware Consolidated Backup) with Networker 7.4SP1 1

[a060463xyz]

Has anyone experience with this Konfiguration ?
My problem is:
With Networker 7.4 everything works but handling is clumsy.
This is optimized in 7.4SP1 but only the *FULL* savesets are Working. All single File backups e.g. Saveset ALLVMFS are not working.
The virtual machine snapshots are mounted, the save starts but saves only the index saveset nothing else, the backup is marked sucessfull but nothing is on the devices except the index.
The snapshot is then unmounted and removed.

I can reproduce this with several installations using ESX Server from 3.01 to 3.5 and VCB-Framework 1.05 and 1.10
A downgrade to NW 7.4 and everything works (but clumsy).
I know its quite special and i dont think a call with VMWare or EMC will lead to a solution so maybe someone solved the problem ?

This is a known issue. It shall be solved with NW 7.4.2 which shall be released shortly.

this looks like it works as a workaround until emc fixes the issue.

I renamed the mount-point from f:\mnt to f:\vcb and it worked with 7.4.1

I did not test 7.4.2 so far
Thanks to all
