"Failed 12" is a common error when TSM failed backuping a few files. Usual 
reasons are the file is locked, the file was removed during backup and the 
account running the TSM scheduler did not have access to the file.

When you looked through your dsmerror.log and dsmsched.log, you couldnt see any 
failed files at all? Nor any issues with backuping specific filespaces (such as 
parts of systemstate).

Do a q act s=clientname for the backup times in question.
You may see something there.

Also, check the windows event log if the clients are windows.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Help tracking down spurious "Failed 12" errors

When using "query event" to check my scheduled backups, I seem to be getting 
"Failed 12" errors for a couple of  backups which appear to have been 
successful (This occurs every day for the same servers).

I've checked the client schedule and error logs - but there is no record of an 
error and all messages are what I would expect to see for a successful backup.

Any ideas where else I should look?

Many Thanks,
