You need to use the absolute path name in the backup command.

Subject: [ADSM-L] How to store file on TSM server.

Hello, I'm very new in TSM and such simple task as store a file in TSM server 
is very difficult for me.

I work with zLinux server and try following command to put my file to TSM 
server:

user@server> dsmc incremental file.ixf.gz IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Command 
Line Backup-Archive Client Interface
  Client Version 6, Release 1, Level 4.0
  Client date/time: 07/05/2013 08:47:12
(c) Copyright by IBM Corporation and other(s) 1990, 2010. All Rights Reserved.

Node Name: NODE_NAME
Session established with server TSMSERVER: AIX-RS/6000
  Server Version 5, Release 5, Level 6.0
  Server date/time: 07/05/2013 06:47:12  Last access: 07/05/2013 06:46:45


Incremental backup of volume 'file.ixf.gz'
Successful incremental backup of '/path/file.ixf.gz'


Total number of objects inspected:        1
Total number of objects backed up:        0
Total number of objects updated:          0
Total number of objects rebound:          0
Total number of objects deleted:          0
Total number of objects expired:          0
Total number of objects failed:           0
Total number of bytes transferred:       0  B
Data transfer time:                    0.00 sec
Network data transfer rate:            0.00 KB/sec
Aggregate data transfer rate:          0.00 KB/sec
Objects compressed by:                    0%
Elapsed processing time:           00:00:03



So it writes that file backed up successfully: Successful incremental backup of 
'/path/file.ixf.gz'
But in next section of output info it show that : Total number of objects 
backed up:        0

and when I try find this file on TSM server I also don't see it:

user@server> dsmc query backup /path/file.ixf.gz ANS1092W No files matching 
search criteria were found

user@server> dsmc query backup file.ixf.gz ANS1092W No files matching search 
criteria were found

user@server> dsmc query backup "/path/*"
ANS1092W No files matching search criteria were found



Please help me to make it worked.
