We are running a small Windows script as a preschedule command with in the 
nightly scheduled backups. The script named presched.cmd resides in 
C:\SysBackup looks like:

@echo off
REM Backup Microsoft Windows 2003 SystemState
REM 
REM Purpose: 
REM additional backups for windows 200x systemstate 
REM run this procedure previously to TSM incremental backup
REM
REM Parameters in dsm.opt: 
REM preschedulecmd "C:\SysBackup\presched.cmd"
REM DOMAIN <Drive_1>: [Drive_2>] 
REM or 
REM DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL -SYSTEMSTATE
REM
set TSM_INSTALL_DIR="c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient
set LOG_FILE=%TSM_INSTALL_DIR%\sysstate.log"
set ERROR_LOG=%TSM_INSTALL_DIR%\sysstate.err" 
REM
ntbackup backup systemstate "@C:\SysBackup\sysstate.bks" /J "Systemstate 
Backup" /L:f /F "C:\Sysbackup\sysstate.bkf" > %LOG_FILE% 2>%ERROR_LOG%
REM
REM  If systemstate backup failed TSM Schedule will not run. Delete next 
line if you don't want this.
exit %ERRORLEVEL%

The ntbackup options file C:\SysBackup\sysstate.bks contains the word 
"SystemState" followed by a blank line.

Thema
[ADSM-L] TSM systemstate backups or NTBACKUP






Is anyone using the Windows NTBACKUP to backup Windows
servers SYSTEMSTATE instead of relying on using TSM
to backup the system state.

I am always running into issues with some servers not able
to get a successfull SYSTEMSTATE backup via TSM

Latest clients have been Windows 2003 servers at 5.5.0 level

If someone is how are you scheduling the NTBACKUP ?
