Possible Cause:  An internal error has occurred in the TLI transport for the SMDR. The likelihood of this error occurring increases as the number of hops between servers increases. The reason for the failure is internal to the supported protocol (SPX, TCP/IP, or ADSP). Heavy traffic can also contribute to the difficulty.

Action:  Run the backup or restore on a server closer to the target, during off hours. If the problem persists, contact a Novell support provider.
