I posted last week regarding a problem with the W2K clients running 4.1.2
TSM client code not having their system objects backed up.  I received some
helpful information and I think I am now successfully backing this up.  My
problem is, though, that the TSM server still doesn't think so!

The scenario is:

2 - TSM servers; one AIX 4.3.3 running TSM 4.1.1 server; one W2K running TSM
4.1.2 server
2 - TMS clients; one W2K Pro; one W2K Server; both running TSM 4.1.2 client

The only truly common thread is the 4.1.2 client code.

Per the attached snippet from the client's dsmsched.log, the following is
supposed to get backed up:

02/06/2001 04:00:03 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN DAILY0400 02/06/2001
04:00:00
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\c$'
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\e$'
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\f$'
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\g$'
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\h$'
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume '\\xmnssrv1\i$'
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Incremental backup of volume 'SYSTEM OBJECT'
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Backup System Object: 'COM+ Database'.
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Backup System Object: 'Event Log'.
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Backup System Object: 'System and Boot Files'.
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Backup System Object: 'Registry'.
02/06/2001 04:00:03 Backup System Object: 'RSM Database'.

Later on in the log, I get a:  "Successful incremental backup of ..." for
every one of those objects listed above.  So why does "select
node_name,filespace_name,backup_end from filespaces where backup_end is
null" show me
that the SYSTEM OBJECT has never been backed up??

I just opened a PMR with Tivoli, but was wondering if anyone else was seeing
this.
