Eric,
The "SYSTEM FILES" part of the system object only applies to Win2K. This is
a Windows thing, not a TSM thing. Under WIN2K, Microsoft implemented the
concept of "system protected" files. Win2K keeps a catalog of all the files
it considers "system and boot files", and they are flagged as "system
protected". Those files are considered part of Win2K "system state", and
are all backed up and restored as a set. TSm is just honoring what
Microsoft has implemented for Win2K, and WInNT has NOTHING to do with it.
When you run backups via the scheduler on Win2K, TSM gets the whole
MICROSOFT-DEFINED "System state", which includes the "system protected
files", plus Active Directory, plus COM+DB, plus Registry, and a bunch of
other stuff, depending on whether it's WIN2K or Win2K pro.
When you run backups via the GUI on Win2K, you must specificially select
SYSTEM OBJECT to get a backup of "system state".
YOu can read about this stuff in the "TSM 3.7.3 and 4.1 Technical Guide"
redbook, Chapter 6. SG24-6110.

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.

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
