Your original message said NT 3.1... If so, like you I haven't managed to
run the ADSM Service on thjis machine (or even any of the GUI components,
or even the INSTALL utility)..

What does work quite nicely is to schedule an NT "AT" command to run the
command line backup client at a given time, and perform the backups that
way.

Of course, if this is NT 3.51 or above, then the stuff SHOULD run as a
service.

Is this accomplished on the client or server side?  Our documentation
states that ADSM cannot be run as a service!
Thanks for the clarification!

Hi Sharon,
Unless I am missing something, you don't have ADSM running as a service.
Having it autostart at login is quite different to having something run as
a service.
To get ADSM running as a service, you need to run the DSMCSVCI.EXE utility
which is located in your ADSM BACLIENT directory. This will install the
ADSM scheduler as a service so it will continue to run even if someone logs
out.

regards,
Trevor
