=================================
I. DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS
=================================
1) Download J0820501.macos.sea_<6_digit number>.bin to a system administrator's
Macintosh. Use "MacBinary" mode when transferring the file
from a UNIX system to a Macintosh.
Note: where <6_digit_number> is an internal tracking identifier
2) A "Self-Extracting Archive" file called "NetBackup 3.2.5 Admin.sea"
will exist on your Macintosh.
3) Double-click the "NetBackup 3.2.5 Admin.sea" application icon to launch
it. This will create the NetBackup 3.2.5 Admin folder.
4) Click on the Continue button when it appears.
5) Use the dialog box to unstuff the "NetBackup 3.2.5 Admin" folder in a
convenient place on the hard disk.
6) Double click on the hard disk icon to open its window.
7) In the hard disk window, double-click the "NetBackup 3.2.5 Admin" folder
icon to open its window. Within the NetBackup 3.2.5 Admin folder is the
patchJ0820501.README file.
8) Read patchJ0820501.README for complete details
of the problems fixed with this patch and installation instructions.
9) Install NetBackup 3.2.5 on the Macintoshes on the network in the same
way that NetBackup 3.2 was installed as explained in the NetBackup PC
Clients Installation Guide and NetBackup for Macintosh User's Guide.

II. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMS FIXED
==================================
=============
current patch
=============
================================================================================
Description:
If a class is configured with a file list of "ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES", the
storage unit and schedule are configured for multiplexed backups, and
exclude_list/include_list are specified on the Macintosh client, some files
will be backed up more than once during a single backup job.
Workaround:
Use "/*" as the file list.
OR
Do not use multiplexing.
================================================================================
=============
patchJ0820445
=============
Description:
Previously, when doing a user archive, some archived folders might not be deleted
if they contained locked files. Now, all archived folders will be deleted.
Previously, when selecting all mounted volumes for a user backup, an error would
occur and no files would be backed up. Now, all volumes can be selected and
backed up.
Previously, debug log files created in the year 2000 would have names in the form
"log.mmdd100". Now, the debug log files have names in the form "log.mmdd00".
Workaround:
Drag files not deleted by the user archive to the Trash.
Instead of selecting all mounted volumes for a user backup, select all files
and folders within the volumes.
=============
patchJ0820385
=============
Description:
NetBackup backs up and restores the File Sharing attributes of shared
folders correctly. However, the File Sharing attributes of subfolders
of the shared folder are not backed up and restored correctly. The
restored attributes are always inherited from the shared folder.
This patch makes sure that the attributes of the subfolders are restored
correctly.
=============
patchJ0820277
=============
Description:
Some folder attributes such as window size, icon position, and AppleShare
permissions are not restored correctly with NetBackup 3.2. Most folders are
restored with default attributes.
Excessive messages are issued to the bpcd debug log during restores. This
could potentially take up disk space before a restore is complete.
The dialog box displayed at startup time, if no printer is selected by the
Chooser, was removed.
=============
patchP0820169
=============
Description:
Mac client cannot do TIR backups. Also, the Mac GUI
cannot specify folder names with apostrophes for
restore. Also, the GUI does not recognize cumulative
incremental backups.
Additional Notes:
This patch will update the version number of the Macintosh NetBackup
applications to 3.2.5.
