Hi,
its is perfect possible using the command line client.
The simplest command to start is
        "dsmc incr"
or, if you would prefer to offer more classical way of backup,
        "dsmc arch d:\path\*"

You probably want your users only have clicked on an icon,
so you can prepare one pointing to for example CMD.EXE
with Parameter 
"/C c:\programs\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsmc.exe incr"
and working directory set to c:\programs\tivoli\tsm\baclient.


You are supposed to have read the manuals first, 
there are tons of options related to this,
like whether to backup subdirectories or not - so be sure to set it up right
way.

regards
Juraj Salak

Betreff: predefined backup


Hi

Is it possible to predefine a backup job, which the user have to start by
himself. First, I don't want to use server schedules because they have be
started at a certain time and some users are not satisfied with that.
Second I don't want the user to select which files to backup every time.
Basically i want a backup rountine which the user can start any time he/she
wants. Is this possible ?
I'm running tsm 5.2 on as/400 pase with 5.2 windows clients.

Regards

Morten Kongsted
