Robert,

Microsoft defines system state as being "a collection of several key
operating system elements and their files". Microsoft does not support
restoring a subset of system state. TSM has been implemented to follow
Microsoft guidelines in this regard. Thus if a system state file cannot be
found, it is not possible to make a good system state backup, and therefore
the system state backup stops.

Does the file named in the ANS5279E message, vnetinst.dll, exist? If not,
that is why the system state backup stopped. You need to start with an
investigation of why this file does not exist, yet the Windows system files
writer seems to think it exists. This might be a question for Microsoft. If
the file exists, but the backup continues to think it does not exist, then
please open a PMR with IBM TSM support.

Best regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
