networker 7.3.4: "Could not initialize a GUID list for ASR"

Hi all,

at a customer site saving ASR:\ fails constantly:
client:ASR:\ Automated System Recovery Files - Could not initialize a GUID list for ASR
client:ASR:\ Automated System Recovery Files - Failed to initialize the ASR context
client:ASR:\ Automated System Recovery Files - Error saving
client: ASR:\ level=full, 1 KB 00:00:09 1 file
That errors also occur, if ASR:\ is the only save set within a client instance which is started by a test group.

environment:
client
Nw 7.3.4.Build.560 on w2k3 (x64)

server
NSR 7.2.Build.499 on Solaris 10

The problem remains also with Nw 7.3.2.Build.11 client.

On a different w2k3 (x64) host with identical hardware and software saving ASR:\ succeeds.

According to esg67797 and esg71826 LGTpa70325 (ASR fails with: 'Could not initialize a GUID list for ASR.') was included in networker 7.1.4 and 7.2.1. However LGTpa70325 does not apply in our situation:
"Fact: ASR backup works if saveset field is ASR: by itself"

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Might be regression in that case. However then I would expect the same thing on other systems as well... I assume one of these days you will update to 7.4SP2 as 7.2 is EOL and then you will be able to use VSS and I'm quite sure problem will be gone.
