I am guessing that you are running 4.2.1.0. The problem you describe
sounds like APAR IC31844. You should obtain patch level 4.2.1.20 or
higher, which includes the fix for that APAR. Once the fix is applied, the
behavior will revert to what you are accustomed to.

        Subject:        How many files can "fail" before scheduled backup is 
declared "failed"?



Hello,

Just started running the 4.2.1 client on win2000.

In previoius versions, it would seem that 1 or 2 files may "fail" -like
ntuser.dat, and userclass.dat, but the backup would still finish with a
status of "completed" (query event).... BUT now with the 4.2.1 client, it
seems that if the same files fail (2 or 4 total), then the entire
scheduled
backup is declared "failed"... even if it has backed up every other
file....

Anyone have an insight on what seems to be a lowering of a threshold?

Keith
