Steve,
Yes but not at the TSM server "q schedule" or the operational reporting.
The schedule launches the cmd file. To TSM the schedule is then
successful even though the backup is still running. We wrote our own
reporting scripts that verify completion based on the TDP client log
files.

Duane,

I don't understand your reference to not getting accurate schedule based
success or failure messages - we use the batch method, and as long as
the errorlevel from the command line backup is captured and used as the
exit code, you should see accurate returncode results.

Goran,
There are many ways to perform it. I use a cmd file that is launched by
TSM schedule and TSM scheduler service. The only issue is you don't get
accurate schedule based success or failure messages. I know some others
use windows scheduler to perform the task via a cmd file or bat file.
There are also other products out there that allow scheduling with some
reporting logic, I don't use any, but I have seen references on the adsm
website.

hi all,
urgent :-)
how to automate exchange backup via TDP ?
is it enough to write an *.bat or *.cmd with commands ?
or is there a way to do it via tsm central scheduler assuming that
dsmcad is running on exchange server ?

sorry for maybe stupid question but im a unix-tsm admin and my windows
guys are looking at me rather funny :-)

thanks for any idea
