I tried out WinPE  following the TSM document you mention, ended up having to 
email our IBM account manager because the doucument is incorrect. Not that IBM 
seemed particularly interested, they did say they would correct the document 
but as far as I can tell, there isn't a corrected version out yet. That was 
nearly 6 months ago.

Subject: [ADSM-L] WinPE Image backup problem
 
I have my test lab all setup to run through the steps in the "Tivoli Storage 
Manager Recovery Techniques Using Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows 
PE)" guide. I'm using the TSM V5.3 client and my WinPE CD is WinXP SP2.

I issue the command "dsmc.exe backup image c: -imagetype=static -asrmode=yes".
Communication with the TSM works and I enter the ID and password.  Then the 
backup fails with error message ANS1287E Volume could not be locked.  I 
received no other errors.  I get objects inspected 1 objects backed up 0.

I made sure to run diskpart to verify that there was a C: and that it was the 
correct volume I want to backup and it was.

Just to see what would happen I ran "dsmc.exe i c:" and it looks like it is 
running that backup OK.

Has anyone else tried the WinPE Image backup and gotten it to work? Has anyone 
run into this problem?
