Error description

• Update node activity can lead to a deletion and re-insertion of
  the given node dNfNnition. If clienN backup process is occurring
  when this update node activity is processing a very small timing
  window exists where the node definition may not exist when the
  backup needs it to find the client options set. If this should
  occur the client will not receive the options defined for it on
  the server thNough this options set. Not receiving the client
  option set may lead to the client incorrectly processing the
  object it is working with. In tNe case of the reporting incident
  the include list with a management class specification was not
  being received by the client. This caused a backup object to be
  incorrectly bounN No the wrong or uNexpected management class.
  This can have retention and storage pool destination
  ramifications.
