Frequently Asked Questions
What are the prerequisites for restoring older NMM backups (8.2.x or earlier)?
The manual lists specific requirements including supported .NET Framework versions, NetWorker server/client versions, and operating system details under Chapter 1.
Why did my VSS writers become inconsistent after installing the NetWorker client?
This is common. To fix it, restart the client host, wait for the VSS writers to stabilize, and then retry the backup.
How do I delete cached NSR peer information if there's an issue with public keys?
Run the command: `nsradmin -p nsrexec -s bv-rcserver` and use the `delete type: NSR peer information; name:` syntax to remove the entry.
