Are you certain the backup ends with RC 0? It should end with RC 4, to
reflect "files skipped". That is, the scheduler or command line should end
with RC 4.
Also, are you sure about the 5.4.1.0 client level? This sounds similiar to
(but probably not identical to) earlier APARs fixed at the earlier
versions. You can search the TSM support page (see my sig) for ANS4005E,
and check the "Solve a problem" checkbox.
Nominally ANS4005E indicates that the file existed at the time it was
scanned in preparation for backup, but when it came to actually backing up
the file, it no longer exists. However, I would not expect that for the
specific files you mention. As a sanity check, make sure those files still
exist (they should).
Use the command line client to try to narrow the scope of the problem. Is
it really during C: backup, or is it during system state backup? Do:
dsmc backup systemstate
and see if the problem occurs. Also test
dsmc backup systemservices
dsmc i c:
to make sure those appear okay.
Are you using OFS? If so, try disabling it and see if the problem goes
away.
Try rebooting the machine (admittedly the "cop-out" suggestion...).
It also help to review the history of this problem and the machine on
which it occurs. Things to ask yourself include (but are not limited to):
- Does the problem occur on just one machine, some machiens, or all
machines? If multiple machines, are there any common factors abot these
machines, such as OS, fixpack, usage (e.g., they all are MS SQL servers),
client options set, TSM server, other software installed on the machines,
etc.
- When did the problem start to occur? Did the backup ever run correctly,
or has it failed since you installed TSM for the first time? If it ran
okay at one time, look for something that changed in the environment
between the last good backup and the first occurrence of the problem.
- Is there any other software running that might be interfering with TSM
operations? For example, antivirus products, OEM open file support
products, other backup products, and so on.
If all of the above still adds up to bupkis, contact IBM technial support
for further assistance. I would also suggest collecting the following in
advance:
- a SERVICE trace and command line console output that captures the
problem, e.g.:
dsmc i c: -traceflags=service -tracefile=tsmtrace.txt > dsmc.out 2>&1
or
dsmc backup systemstate -traceflags=service -tracefile=tsmtrace.txt >
dsmc.out 2>&1
- dsmerror.log
- client options file (dsm.opt)
- client options set definition (if node has one assigned to it)
- dsminfo.txt (NOT dsmmsinfo.txt) file created by running
dsmc query systeminfo
- if problem occurs during system state backup, output from the following
Windows command line commands:
vssadmin list writers
vssadmin list providers
vssadmin list shadows

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
