I guess I should rephrase the question.
Can someone tell me what the when I query an event what in-progress in the
status column means?
This isn't making much sense to me. For example, today I queried the events
for my nt_backups. I queried my events for the past 3 days. The output seem
to indicate that the event is still in progress. I have attached the schedule
and the output from the query events, but I still don't understand what
in-progress means from 2 days ago??

Subject: Re: Query Event for Previous day shows status In Progress
Am I off base in suggesting that query events is not a
reliable way to check backup status?
We've found that you can have:
--events that say Missed, but you DO have a good backup
(it started late, or was run manually, etc, but it WAS done)
--events that say Completed, but you DON'T have a good backup
(it Completed the kickoff of a TDP agent;
the agent failed an hour later)
--NO events at all for some nodes
(your DBA may want to control the timing with crontab,
rather than the TSM scheduler do it)
--skipped files, and events doesn't help you there.
(outlook.pst, for example, usually stays open/locked, so
TSM misses it. The event status is Completed, because it's
"only" one file...!!)
This is old news to some people, but maybe useful for others.
