Hello, I am testing Exchange 2010 DAG backup on Networker 9.1 (NMM 9.1) on a test setup and getting the same issue as discussed in this post Re: Backup de DAG Exchange 2016

I am backing up to an ATFD.

Error message:

=================================

NSR critical Backup of Saveset 'APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010\Maildb01\DatabaseFiles' failed with error exch2010-dag:APPLICATIONS:\Microsoft Exchange 2010\Maildb01\DatabaseFiles: Unable to perform backup for save-set ID '3401398588' with DIRECT_ACCESS=Yes, check device and pool configuration to enable Client direct..

=================================

I have assigned all polices to Disk pool but don't know why but it keep choosing to backup to a Default tape pool.

I understand that with Networker 9.1 with Block Based backup it requires to backup to disk, but it keep choosing the tape library and then failed.

The solution for that post did not work for me.

1. I have remote username/password set on the AFTD

2. I have tried setting the UNC path of the AFTD with both shortname and FQDN of the Storage Node (which is the Networker server itself).

I am able to perform a successful save with this command on the client

---> save -b POOL_NAME -a DIRECT_ACCESS=yes C:\"

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. I have been trying to solve it for a week...
