setup of skip directive for '' failed

Any ideas here?

What do you actually want to achieve.

If your Saveset is ALL the you cannot use Skip or +Skip..

You can use SKIP only when specyfying individual folders / sub-foldesr.

i.e
This example shows how to use a global directive to skip all *.tmp files in a particular directory for a particular NetWorker client.


<<"C:\MYDIR">>
skip: *.tmp

Applying a NetWorker User program local directive (Windows Only)
This example shows how to use a Windows local directive to skip all *.tmp files in the C:\mydir directory on a particular NetWorker client.
Using the NetWorker User program, create a local directive. The directive is saved in the networkr.cfg file in this format:
<<"C:\mydir">>
skip: *.tmp

When a scheduled backup is performed on the NetWorker client, all files that match the *.tmp
pattern in the C:\mydir directory will be skipped.

Take a look at the Networker 7.3x Admin Guide.

I guess first question here is - do you use directives at all.

If not, do you get this only for ASR saveset?

HabibG2, is is not necessary to use directives to get this error
