Sure.

Use the command line version of the TSM client, dsmc.
Put it in a .bat file with a shortcut on the Windows desktop.

We call ours "one-button backup", and it's a .bat file with these contents:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
c:
cd c:\progra~1\tivoli\tsm\baclient
echo "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++" >>dsmsched.log
echo "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++" >>dsmsched.log
echo "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++" >>dsmsched.log
echo "starting one-button-backup  %DATE%  %TIME% " >>dsmsched.log
echo "++                                         ++" >>dsmsched.log
dsmc incremental >>dsmsched.log
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------

"dsmc incremental" does a complete incremental backup, same as if you used
the scheduler.
You can, of course, change it to dsmc "yourdesiredfilespec" to backup just
selected files/directories.

The dsmc command and it's parameters are documented in the TSM Windows
Client Installation and Use manual.

Hi

Is it possible to predefine a backup job, which the user have to start by
himself. First, I don't want to use server schedules because they have be
started at a certain time and some users are not satisfied with that.
Second I don't want the user to select which files to backup every time.
Basically i want a backup rountine which the user can start any time he/she
wants. Is this possible ?
I'm running tsm 5.2 on as/400 pase with 5.2 windows clients.

Regards

Morten Kongsted
