NetWorker is a product that integrates with a large number of backup storage systems and clients, with plugins for a large number of applications.
NetWorker uses a registry entry to keep a list of files which it will not never backup regardless of the saveset or directive that you set.
You may also see the error after the NetWorker client upgraded with the same host name which created a duplicate NSR peer information for the client.
samfsdump can back up 100,000 files a minute, because it's not backing up the full files, just control data. Meaning restore time is also VERY fast.
