I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
I have multiple windows 2003 servers that have TSM clients on them
ranging from 5.2.1.1 to 5.2.3.0 backing up to a AIX 5.1 server with TSM
server version 5.2.1.1. When the incremental backup starts the first
thing that it starts with is the System State. When TSM attempts to use
Virtual Shadow Copy in Windows it fails with a error message and
ultimately causes the backup to show as failed. Will attach error
message below received in dsmerror.log. I have checked on IBM's website
and all that is mentioned is that if Open File support is installed that
you may have problems.

Open file support is not on these machines and never has been. Has
anyone else seen this problem and if so how have you fixed it?
