Problem adding duplicate clients

in 7.12 I created a client for each separate backup type,
they had the same names, I would differentiate them with the comments
i.e., I would create a client and use it to backup export files every day
the I would create a client (same name) and use it to backup full once a week.
in 7.4.2 It wont let me add a client with the same name
what am I doing wrong?

The behaviour that you have mentioned for 7.1.2 should be the same in 7.4.2. What exactly is the error you are getting? I have configured stuff on the lines of what you describe in 7.4.2 and haven't had any problems. Error details would help in trying to resolve your problem.

There is no difference in respect to that between 7.1.x and 7.4.x. The only time when NW will not allow you to created client is if this client is in same group and there are overlapping svesets (or saveset All client instance already exist in that group which would be overlap again).

However, there might be another reason, but that would be easy to detect if you would post an error you get when you try this operation.

Other than the scenario of overlapping savesets, the only problem I can think of is duplicate client id's. That would be a rather rare case happening only if there was a problem with basic name resolution.

Hi,


Are you using the GUI functionality to "duplicate" a client and once duplicated then amend the saveset / schedule details for the new client ?

Your SAVESET is the most likely culprit, please check and double check.
