Hi TSMers 

TSM server 3.7.3.8 running on Solaris 2.7 machine. Getting the following
message for one of our NT client nodes. 


04/01/02 22:14:20       ANR0534W Transaction failed for session 43012 for node
                             PUBEARLY (WinNT) - size estimate exceeded and 
server is
                             unable to obtain additional space in storage pool
BACKUPPOOL. 


I have looked at the help for the message and from what I can see there are a 
number of
possible reasons. But I have never seen it before for any client and was 
wondering is
anyone out there had had dealings with this and what remedies they used to 
solve it. The
backup eventually completes OK with just one failed file. Unfortunately, I 
cannot see
which one as the person in charge of the NT machines is away on holiday at the 
moment. I
would like to gather some more inf. before I next speak to him. 

Can anyone help with this one. 

Many thanks in advance 

All the best
