Did you install to a machine with an existing version of TSM? If so, was
the TSM LVSA module installed (i.e. were you enabled for online image
backup)?

How *exactly* did you perform the install of the client? If you chose to
install all components, open file support is included.

I don't follow the part that says "... it tries to do an image backpu of
the filesystem...". Are you saying that when you attempt to run "dsmc
incremental" it instead runs "dsmc backup image"?

All,

Has anyone seen a problem during backup when TSM doesn't install the
Open file Agent but does install "something" that you can only see
through the Setup Wizard?  I have 2 Windows 2000 machines with 5.2.0.1
where it tries to do an image backup of the filesystem even though I
haven't installed or configured this module.  But when I go into the
Wizard it shows that there is support enabled.  And there is nothing in
the dsm.opt which has anything to do with Open File Support.
