Hi,

We have a windows 2008 R2 server being backup up to a  TSM 6.2.2.30 server
using  client version 6.4.0. The client was upgraded from 6.3 to try to
fix this problem.  We are getting a failure of the systemstate backup.  I
have deleted the TSM systemstate file system  to try to fix this to no
avail.  We have also restarted the server.  The rest of the file system
backups run fine.  Has anyone seen this before?  The backjup domain is set
to all-local.  We have also tried taking the systemstate out of the backup
and the results are the same.  Here are the logs:
