Thomas,

This usually means that you have back-leveled your TSM API
in some fashion or another.  Once you use a later level
TSM API to run backups, many times you cannot use a
lower level TSM API anymore because the data is
stored in a new "format" that older levels of the
TSM API do not know about.  Make sense at all?

The message is coming from the TSM API and displayed
by TDP for SQL.  Upgrade your TSM API and retry.

Thanks,

Del
