Tim,

I am using presched and postshced to do this very thing on several servers. I 
am in a class right now, but will email you the details on Friday. Basically, I 
set up a separate node for the GW backups,  then use a pre and post sched to 
stop and start GW. I do this around 2:00 am (for minimal disruption). So far, 
works like a charm.

Also, the enableGW switch does not work reliably. I worked with that for a 
month before giving up - including calls open with both TSM and GW support.

Mark... Thanks again I am also going to look into the preschedulecmd and
postschedcmd
and see if it's possible to shut down the database while the backup is
active.
