        Nathan,

        Try adding this statement to your include statement to your opt
file:

        Include *:\...\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\*.EVT

        Make sure it is before all the excludes of the same directory.  This
        will backup the event log files as flat files.

        Is there a statement that one can specify in the dsm.opt to make the
        ADSM/TSM backup the WinNT event logs by default. i.e. an equivalent
of
        backupreg yes?

        The only way I've been able to accomplish this so far is via a
        preschedulecmd of dsmc eventb entire, but it gets a bit awkward to
implement
        as I have over 800NT nodes here, each with password access prompt
and each
        with different passwords. Therefore to get the preschedulecmd to
work I have
        to use dsmc eventb entire -password=*****
        . I could go to passwordaccess generate which would forego this
requirement,
        but I prefer prompt.

        Anyone any better ideas?
