Callie, it would help to have a little more information about the problem;
in particular, the dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log info that corresponds to
the scheduled event where the system object backup failes.

Mark's question about the ID refers to the NT user account under which the
scheduler service runs.

Also, which exact version of the client (e.g., 5.2.4.4, 5.3.0.8, etc.) are
you using?

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.
