SESAM BACKUP CLIENT FOR NETWARE FILE SYSTEMS, VERSION: 4.0R6 Build: 1.1125 20130215 13:11:03 Linux i586 buildfix

Important Notice:

To support Groupwise 2012 the SEP sesam Server must be updated to a version equal or higher 4.2.1.x.

Important Bugfix

Scanning for modified files during differential and incremental backups was incorrect in Version 3.0. This problem was fixed in version 3.4.1.4. All Sesam NetWare clients should be updated to a higher version than version 3.4.1.4 [1] to avoid possible data loss, because modified files are not saved during differential or incremental backup.

  • CHANGE: (#15650) GroupWise 2012 Backup based on TSAFS -> Browse and selection of subfolders or files should not be possible
  • CHANGE: (#15649) Support GW2012 on non NSS volumes - To avoid browsing of clustered GroupWise resource on non clustered node the nameSpace is checked and if nameSpace is not NFS a nssvol resource must map to the path
  • NEW: (#15649) Support GW2012 on non NSS volumes - Instead of checking resource path via 'sm_client dir' and mapping to NSSVOL resource check resource path via connected file system TSA
  • change: If a startup file cannot be read then do not end with error bcz startup file may be located on a different resource which is not mounted on current node
  • bugfix: (#14217) If relocation path is given with '-o PATH=...' then parsing relocation argument '-R ...' will overwrite it

  • BUGFIX: (#14217) Path reduction not supported for Novell File System - Now the -R {relocation...} is processed similar to sbc unix
