cannot see system state backup on gui- win2008

[miguell]

Hello,

I have to restore an entire win 2008 vm machine with tsm client 6.4.1 .
I created a new vm machine with disk c: operating system.
When i try to restore from backup the original machine, i can see under the tsm gui all the filespaces that were backed up.
But my big problem is that i dont see the system state , so i cannot restore the original client.

Thank you ,

Use the TSM command line, and issue:

TSM>  query systemstate -inactive

This will give you the list of system states you can restore from. If the list is empty, it means that either no system state backups were performed or that they failed. A system state backup must complete successfully in order to be available for restore.

backup systemstate
that will fix that problem, and on win2003 make sure you have KB934016 and KB940349 if you want system to boot afterwards.
