Use double quote around the command in dsm.opt, start / stop your TSM
services on your client, and send your dsmsched.log from the client.
Normally, you should have a message after the backup with the command
line invoked and the return code of your command.

Hi!

A user is trying to setup a postschedule command for their system state
backup and I am a little confused as to why it is not working:

It is a Windows 2003 client at TSM 5.2.2.10 and the postschedulecmd within
the dsm.opt file as follows: postschedulecmd c:\ssbackup.bat

The backup command that I have set up for this particular server is as
follows:

Policy Domain Name             WINDOWS

Schedule Name                  WINDOWS-DAILY-INCR

Description                    Daily Incremental Windows Backups

Action                         INCREMENTAL

Options

Objects                        -

Priority                       5

Start date                     2005-03-10

Start time                     23:00:00

Duration                       1

Duration units                 HOURS

Period                         1

Period units                   DAYS

Day of Week                    ANY



I noticed within the TSM Backup/Archive client for Windows servers it
references that when using a command string if the admin uses a blank or
null string on the postschedulecmd option, they cannot run a post-schedule
command.

My questions is:  what do I have to do to the above schedule in order for
their postschedulecommand to work?  Any help would be appreciated!
