When trying to install Backup Exec 8 on my Netware 5 server. I keep getting a Critical Error when the netware client tries to load and locks up. The job manager loads fine. the only way I have found to remove the lockup is to restart the server. What can I do? Let me know if you need more info to help.

I have a very simler problem with Backup Exec 8 and Netware 5.1. I receive I/O errors when I load Backup Exec. Server works fine when Backup Exec is not loaded. You can contact Backup Exec @ helppdesk@support.veritas.com Hope they can help you.

Backup Exec add a file to the c: drive.... The file is filesys.nlm.. REname the file to filysys.old ( so it will not be run ) then start the server again.... The correct filesys.nlm is located in the SYS volume now and the NetWare 5 need the one from there not the one from the c: drive.....BE should start up and run just fine.... I use it all the time and have had no problems when I made the change....Good Luck....Chuck

I would look for filesys.nlm and mm.nlm and rename them. You need to down the server to do this since they are in the nwserver directory. Bring back the server and reapply SP2a.
