Good afternoon.
I'm at the point where I've tested backing up the SYSTEM STATE with NTBACKUP, 
having TSM backup the drives and exclude the SYSTEM OBJECT, then rebuild the 
system, restore with TSM and use NTBACKUP to restore the SYSTEM STATE.   I have 
a batch file to kick off NTBACKUP for the SYSTEM STATE backup and want to use 
the "preschedulecmd" to run this before TSM scans for changed files and does 
the scheduled backup.  I need to make sure the batch file completes before TSM 
does the backup.  Would there be any situation that TSM might start backing up 
before the prescheduledcmd completes?  I've read in the readbooks and it says 
that
"The preschedulecmd option specifies a command that the ADSM client program 
should process before it runs a schedule."
Client running Win2K SP3 with TSM 5.2.2
Server running AIX 5.2 with TSM 5.2.2

Just checking before rolling out to all the Win2K servers.
Thanks for all the help.

Have a Great Day,
Eric Jones
