Hi,

Take a look in the list archive. There are many documents related to the
system objects. In your case I would upgrade my TSM server to something like
5.1.7.1 or above and the clients to v5.1.5.15. This combination works for
us.

Regard,

Karel

Onderwerp: Win32 baclient dies when backing up system object !?


Hi !

I have a problem with some of my clients.
Lately, some of them are unable to backup the systemobject !
When doing a manual backup, I find out that it is the system files that
cause the application to die.
(It doesn't hang, it just terminates and disappears !)

When running as a Scheduler service, this causes the Scheduler service
to stop,
giving the backup a failed status. (I don't know if it actually backs up
ordinary files first, but it discards them due to the failure)
The server reports the following:

09.09.2003 06:00:00   ANR2580E Schedule DAILY_DAP in domain PIPELINE_DAP
for
                                 node OSLDAP01 failed.


09.09.2003 05:59:55   ANR0480W Session 11689 for node OSLDAP01 (WinNT)

                                 terminated - connection with client
severed.


I've tried to reinstall the clients, also to different versions with the
same result.
Currently I have this problem on baclient versions 5.1.0.1 and 4.2.1.20.
(Have also tried various other versions)
My server is a version 4.1.3.0 (WinNT)

The weird thing, is that this problem seems to appear "overnight" for no
specific reason !?
(Same configuration as last 18 months without problems)

The scheduler logfile looks just fine (no errors)
The baclient error log states that the backup of local drives is
finished.
(usually with one or two errors due to a file being in use -> the object
is in use by another process, which is no big deal)


Anyone seen this before ?
Tips ? Workarounds ?
