There is a APAR currently for this problem.  However in the mean time we
use NTBackup to backup the System State to a flat file kicked off by a VB
script, which we run as a preschedulecmd in the dsm.opt file.

Microsoft does not support the "system state" concept on Windows NT 4.0,
and so TSM can't support it, either. On NT 4.0, it is correct that all you
see is the registry and event log in the "SYSTEM OBJECT" file space. In
sum, Windows NT 4.0 support is as it always has been: TSM backs up regular
files, registry, and event log.

Hi Alexander!
Unfortunately that doesn't say that all files are backed up. My Windows NT
machine also has a SYSTEM OBJECT filespace on the TSM server. However, it
only contains the registry files and the event log. The presence of the
SYSTEM OBJECT filespace does not guarantee that it contains all system
object files.
Kindest regards,

Hi Eric,

We did some tests on Windows XP (not 2000). When we
did an incremental backup on a system without a
DOMAIN statement in dsm.opt a file space of
the type "SYSTEM OBJECT" would appear on the
TSM server for this node.

So I think one can assume that the system object
is included by default.

Best regards,

Alexander
