EC=NETNAME DELETED

Arcserve 2k sp5 WinXP Pro SP1

While doing a test restore of our DataWarehouse I came across the following errors: (File paths change to protect the innocent.)

E3451 Unable to write stream ID. (FILE={a valid windows file path}, ID=3, EC=NETNAME DELETED)
E3453 Unable to write stream data. (FILE={a valid windows file path}, ID=1, EC=NETNAME DELETED)
W3302 Unable to create directory. (DIR={a valid windows file path}, EC=NETNAME DELETED)

I got the above three during the first tape of the restore and three more "Unable to create directory" errors during the fifth and last tape of the restore. I'm restoring to the admin share e$ on another Windows XP box (into an empty directory).

After checking the restored files, the directories that arcserve claimed could not be created did exist and there was data restored to these directories.

mspope,

From what I've found, the "E3451 Unable to write stream ID" error comes from a filename having characters which Windows cannot or does not recognize. For instance, I have a server which holds both Windoze and Mac files, and the Mac files often have names longer than windows recognizes. Also, the filename may have been written on a Mac with characters which show up strangely when viewed from a PC (I'm thinking of diacritic characters here).
