Thanks for everyone's replies - I spoke with TSM Support a little while ago and
found out that indeed, the backup systemobject is redundant. Also that client
5.1.6 fixes a hang condition on clients doing multiple sessions, which I am; I
think this will fix my problem.

The problem might be that your w2k client doesnt 'tell' that the scheduled
backup is complete when it contacts your TSM server, instead it starts
another scheduled backup i.e. it loops. Probably, you cant locally backup
system object either, client will crash.
I dont recall the name of the security fix from MS that caused this
problem, but we tried to uninstall the fix but that didnt solve the
problem. In my case, I4m busy at the moment upgrading 250+ w2k servers to
v.5.1.6.0.
And the best part is... all security hotfixes will be in SP4 which will be
released pretty soon. :D Andy -Do you this as a problem?
Also, see previous threads this month about this.

Please

I'm running TSM 5.1.5 on OS/390 and backing up Win2K servers running the
5.1.5 client. I issue a "define clientaction nodename action=command
object='dsmc backup systemobject'" from the server to each of my clients at
the beginning of my backup cycle, followed by a "define clientaction
nodename action=incremental" command. The first command gets scheduled
right away, but it appears that in many cases the scheduled command takes
hours to finish and get out of the way so that the incremental backup can
begin. All I see in the server log is that the session times out and that
eventually it reconnects and the schedule completes. I don't see any
errors in the client log. Any ideas on what might be going on? I do see
that the schedule prompter keeps bugging the client to start the
incremental; is it possible that this is causing a problem for the client
scheduler?
