Thanks for the response Sung.

I am already using an option similar to that.  But one of the problems is
each week this job runs the log gets overwritten with new information.  My
goal is to find away to keep 14 days worth of info in the log and then purge
it.  That's when I started researching the sched log commands.

Thanks for your reply.

Chad

Chad,

Schedlog and Errorlog logs store information for scheduled work only, so
you probably won't be able to those messages.

Now what you can do this add  this to your  dsmc selective statment.

dsmc selective \\lmconnectdata\data\users\*.pst -subdir=yes
-optfile=c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\pstbackup\dsmpst.opt >> output.log

Give that a try and see how it goes.

Hello All,

I am trying to accomplish backing a NT 4.0 server with the following batch
file. This batch file is used once a week to backup PST files.  This
process
currently works great but I need to add a little more detail into this
process.  I would like to add a schedlog and a retention period for this
process.  I know the command line syntax for both of these commands but I
am
unable to get it to work correctly in my batch file.  I also have a DSM.OPT
file that the batch file references but when I put the schedlogname c:\path
as a test it still does not work.  Please see below for batch file and
DSM.opt file.  Any help would be appreciated.

Batch File-

echo off
cd c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\
echo "Backup Is Now Running"
dsmc selective \\lmconnectdata\data\users\*.pst -subdir=yes
-optfile=c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\pstbackup\dsmpst.opt

********************
Note: c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\--- This is the path were TSM is
installed on the local machine.

Note: =c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient\pstbackup\dsmpst.opt--- This the
path
for the DSM.opt file.


DSM.OPT File.
