Hi Harold,

This is interesting... what method are you using the cancel the client
sessions? If you cancel the session from the admin client (CANCEL SESSION
command), then the client should recognize that the session was cancelled
by a TSM server administrator and not re-try the backup (though it may
reconnect to report backup status).
