Hmmm..... I'd have considered IC36559, but that should be fixed at your
client level.

Can you send me your entire dsm.opt file, ssbackup.bat, dsmsched.log, and
dsmerror.log files?

Next, try adding these lines to your options file:

   TRACEFLAGS SCHED
   TRACEFILE SCHED.TRC

(pick your own "sched.trc" file name)

Let the schedule run, then send me the sched.trc file, dsmsched.log, and
dsmerror.log, and I'll see what I can see.

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
