439.0. "nwbackup problem with decwindows" by ALFSS2::ZURIK_E () Tue Feb 25 1997 06:50

    Here is a problem description from a customer running Digital UNIX
    V3.2g and NSR V4.2b.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I just want to restate the problem so everyone is talking about the
    same
    thing.  The problem is with the nwbackup gui.  The gui works just fine
    *EXCEPT* in the following two situations:
    
            1) When nwbackup is started from a DECwindows menu 
            2) When nwbackup is started via an rsh command
    
    In the above two situations, the *ONLY* problem I encounter is that any
    attempt to use the gui to back up two or more different mount points
    fails. (In nwbackup, a mount point is represented by a special mount
    point icon; a folder with a red hash-mark on it) When nwbackup fails
    this
    way, it fails *very* quickly with the following error message:
    
            Backup start time: Mon Feb 24 17:02:52 1997
            save: Not enough space
            Backup completion time: Mon Feb 24 17:02:52 1997
    
    Again, this is the *ONLY* problem I have encountered.  If I do not
    start
    nwbackup from rsh or a DECwindows menu, I can back up multiple mount
    points JUST FINE.  If do start nwbackup from rsh or a DECwindows menu,
    but
    do not attempt to backup up multiple mount points, everything works
    JUST
    FINE. The problem ONLY OCCURS when I attempt to back up multiple mount
    points from an nwbackup session that was started by either rsh or a
    DECwindows session.     
    
    Also, the problem occurs when I run nwbackup on the server as well as
    on
    a client, and it occurs no matter how my DISPLAY variable is set.
    
    

Hi,

I haven't personally seen this problem before, but the information provided
in the .0 is very helpful.  I will try to reproduce this problem and get back
to you as soon as possible.

    This is an ASE system so the patches were sent for 4.2b.  I will let
    you know what happens.
