Hi,

I guess it is what I have seen on a lot of servers.

Dsmc backup systemservices, might work. But dsm backup systemstate|asr
will fail due to VSS problems.
Even if you list the VSS writers they will most likely be stable,
'vssadmin list writers'.

You can try a systemstate backup with Ntbackup, but include ASR info to
see if it works, requires a diskette. In most cases it wont work.

So you need to check if you have the latest VSS patch installed ex. wmic
/node:"%1" qfe where hotfixid='KB913648'. There is at least on newer VSS
patch out too. If it is not installed, install the patch and reboot.
Microsoft wont address VSS issueses without the latest patches
installed.

Btw, upgrade your TSM client since it will be out of support soon.

Hi All, 

Please see the message below that is reported on the dsmerror.log file.
When tried to run the ASR backup manually, it just hung. 

The client is running tsm 5.2.2 and the server has 5.2.0. Please advice
as how to fix this ASR issue.
