Try backing up the event logs from the gui or cmd line.  Does this work?

If so it is probably a permissions problem - TSM saves the files to
c:\adsm.sys ... - ensure the system account (or whatever the scheduler
service uses) has write access here.

Subject: w2k client error saving event logs

Client is W2K with TSM 5.1.6.0 client software

I have one client that shows that it fails every night.
It is a domain controller for a M$ active domain.  Every night the backups
'fail' and
the logs (in the NT Event logs) says there was an error saving the event
logs.

I am not a real NT kind of guy, so even rudimentary assistance is
appreciated.
