Hi Geoff,

Not sure you mean by "version 5.3 not having web access".

The old admin GUI doesn't work (actually you CAN install the old 5.2
admin GUI now with the special patch if you want, but that will not be
provided in future releases).  But anybody you grant access to can
access the ISC via a browser.
So it's just a matter of retraining to find the info in a different
place.  

The clients we have that show "in progress" are uniformly failures.
The client starts the backup, but dies a peculiar death, or (more
commonly) the scheduler hangs up so that it never reports back to the
server, so the server never reports the change in status.  Now if you
have a client that completes normally, but the server still says "in
progress", that's probably a bug; check the level of the client code,
it's probably old.

Subject: Backup Status


At different times during the night Operations verifies the status of
backups using the TSM web interface. For those that have issues, tickets
are
routed to those administrators for investigation. With version 5.3 not
having web access what are others using that will allow this late night
ongoing monitoring?



Also here is a question as it relates to how the 5.2 web interface
displays
the backup status. For those servers that show "In Progress" some never
revert to Completed. Can anyone explain the reason for this anomaly?



Thanks,
