Hi,
I think that will only work in a MS cmd-Line window and not on a TSM baclient cmd-line.
so open a cmd line window, change to your baclient-dir and type the command
as stated in your post. that should work.

sadly that doesn't work - had already tried.

Use dsmadmc and redirect output to your text file.

sorry if I'm wrong - but doesn't this query only work with using "dsmc" (not with admin cmd - dsmadmc) ??

In my case I get a perfect result after changing to
"c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\"
and executing:
"dsmc query backup -dirsonly c:\ > mytextfile.txt"

My mistake. I was thinking of a query ran against the TSM Server - I guess I am not yet wide awake!
