I got this error message " Client name **** is already an alias for client ****.domainname "
Hi there,
I was preparing the yearly backup group to start the backup; when I was creating a client and specifiying the setting such the name, index management and the save sets, then I tried to click on OK to save the things.
I got this error message " Client name **** is already an alias for client ****.domainname "
Thanks in advance

From the KB article - esg58811:
Just be sure to note the clientid before deleting.
Symptom: Error: 'client name (client) is already an alias for client (FQDN)'
Symptom: Error: 'Client alias clientA_name is already the name of client clientB' Symptom:
NetWorker unable to add a client Symptom: When adding a client he server responds with error
Cause: The clientA name is listed on clientB's resource hence the conflict.
Fix:
1. Delete clientA and save the clientid
2. Remove clientA from clientB's Aliases list
3. Recreate clientA using the clientid saved from step 1

It sounds as if there is already a client defined with full qualified name.
If you create a second client for the same machine, you have to use the same name. In your case the fqn.
