Don't make ADSM fool on you:

q event * t=a gives the following output:

Scheduled Start          Actual Start             Schedule Name     Status

So the BACKUP DATABASE and BACKUP STORAGEPOOL seems to completed successfully, 
BUT,
looking in the actlog, you find the following:

Did I missed something and fool myself, or what?

(we are running ADSM V2.1.0.3 on a SP2 (AIX 4.1.4.0) using 3494 with 3590 
units).
