Enable
Enable client-side encryption (and compression) for all clients. Create
a unique key on each client, and make the administrator(s) of that
client responsible for maintaining their key (and a backup at least of
its passphrase through ANOTHER means). Exclude the key data from
backups.
All of those
Looks like you need to raise CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT (and maybe, but
probably not, CLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT; don't try that unless only READ
isn't enough) on the media server trying to write its own Informix
backups. (I presume you had, long ago, raised this value on the other
media server for a similar
for that.

DISALLOW_CLIENT_RESTORE sure sounds like the configuration option you're after.
Check your OS-specific Adminisration guide for the details.

I know of a bug (and we have engineering binaries to cover it both on the HP-UX
master and on the Win2k3 clients) specific to Win2k3 Active Directory servers
(portions of the SYSVOL cannot be restored).
So far as I know, there's no bug report published on that as yet. That's been

Is 6.5.2 being promoted as a fix for windows environments ? We have a
mix of windows and unix clients but our master server is running

Thanks Gabriel.
Other than the hot catalog backup bug, are there any other bugs in 6.5.2
that are not also there in 6.5.1? In other words
No need for the date cheat, just use a frequency schedule with no start
windows. (Maybe the GUI makes it unclear you can do that? It's simple
enough with bppolicynew/bpplsched[rep].)
That said, I think Darren's original question may touch on include
lists. Because (unless I'm ignorant of it)
Aptare (and Bocada BackupReporter, and EMC's new reporting product, and
so forth) are all doing something mind-numbingly simple to get this
information: they either run bpdbjobs -report -all_columns (you may only
need -most_columns) or query the (no API explicitly provided by
Symantec, so do so at
Is bpdbjobs -report in some way insufficient?

Is there a shiny new additional location to go rooting for the cause
