SYMPTOMS
When you use NTbackup to back up a shared NFS volume over the network by using Beam & Whiteside's NFS software, NTbackup may cause a DR Watson error when starting to backup the NFS volume. For example:

The application error states that the instruction at 0x79f94867 cannot read memory at 00000000.



CAUSE
Version 3.6 of Beam & Whitside software that works with 3.51 does not allow NTbackup to back up NFS volumes. The version for 3.5 allows you to do so, but you must also back down to Windows NT 3.5 in order for this version to work. The only other workaround is to attach a backup device to the machine containing the NFS volume.



STATUS
Beam & Whiteside tech support is aware of this problem and currently working on a fix. You can reach their Tech support at 416-496-2200.
