Hi Jerry
I'm new to this list but your problem sounds like a problem I have where the
system objects fail. On further investigation I discovered it was only the
event logs, which are no use if the system crashses and needs a full restore
anyway. So with the authority of my desktop guys I excluded the event logs
directory from the backup and from then on my system Objects passed. I found
this only to be a problem on servers where the event log was very busy.

First - let me thank you all for the responses to my original question.
Your answers have gotten me thinking some - I say some, because at my age,
it's hard to get everything going again, and I suffer from "senior moments"
too often.
Most of the answers revolved around the suggestion that I could exclude
something - either the files themselves, or the System Object itself if I
get the newest client. This seems to me to be treating the symptom, rather
than the problem - if I exclude them, obviously, I can never restore them
(DUH!). If these do get corrupted or deleted, it would appear that I could
be in for another bout with my desktop support folks - they just had my
Laptop for 3 weeks - I'm not eager to deal with them again. Now I will be
the first to admit that I'm not MS Certified on any OS, and so the idea of
excluding the whole System Object is scary as well - doesn't that include a
big portion of registry information if I need to do a complete restore? Or
is the idea of a Bare Metal restore with TSM one that has died?
In my (sometimes overly simplistic) mind, I remember the ADSM class I
attended where the instructor identified how a file was determined to have
changed - either the date, the time, or the size has changed. Has TSM
changed this philosophy? After all, I look at the files in question, and
nothing has changed that I can see externally. Shouldn't there be a better
approach than to say "well, they're a part of the system object, and
therefore you need to exclude them." Shouldn't the software be smart enough
to figure this out?
