Neil,

This sounds like your backups are being directed to tape.
You need to indictate that you are willing to wait
for tape mounts.  Try this command:

   TDPEXCC SET MOUNTWait=Yes

Then issue

   TDPEXCC QUERY TDP

to make sure the setting is set to YES.

At that point, retry the backup.
If it still fails with the same message,
then you will need to look closer at your
TSM Server to make sure there are tapes
assigned and available to the storagepool that
these backups will be directed to.

Thanks,

Del
