its weird. has to be the weirdest software i have ever seen... defining the backup device
works just fine and it creates the various subdirs it needs etc.. it blows up when trying
to associate a backup set with the backup device and zmanda is not cooperative in telling
me what the software is trying to do at that point.
the error message is a huge hex number taking half the screen. i sent them a screen shot
and they just said 'it cant work'
im ready to give up on this project.
