Fine,
I would suggest either to add 2>>&1 to the last line:
        dsmc incremental >>dsmsched.log 2>>&1
or to redirect errors to separat log
        dsmc incremental >>dsmsched.log 2>>dsmerror.log

This because in the example below error messages are possibly displayd only
in the command window an dissapear once the window is closed or full.

regards

Sure.

Use the command line version of the TSM client, dsmc.
Put it in a .bat file with a shortcut on the Windows desktop.

We call ours "one-button backup", and it's a .bat file with these contents:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
c:
cd c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient
echo "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++" >>dsmsched.log
echo "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++" >>dsmsched.log
echo "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++" >>dsmsched.log
echo "starting one-button-backup  %DATE%  %TIME% " >>dsmsched.log
echo "++                                         ++" >>dsmsched.log
dsmc incremental >>dsmsched.log
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------

"dsmc incremental" does a complete incremental backup, same as if you used
the scheduler.
You can, of course, change it to dsmc "yourdesiredfilespec" to backup just
selected files/directories.

The dsmc command and it's parameters are documented in the TSM Windows
Client Installation and Use manual.

Hi

Is it possible to predefine a backup job, which the user have to start by
himself. First, I don't want to use server schedules because they have be
started at a certain time and some users are not satisfied with that.
Second I don't want the user to select which files to backup every time.
Basically i want a backup rountine which the user can start any time he/she
wants. Is this possible ?
I'm running tsm 5.2 on as/400 pase with 5.2 windows clients.

Regards

Morten Kongsted
