Tom,
I'm asking the obvious, but are you saying there are no entries in the
dsmerror.log in the baclient folder of the datamover?

Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] Strange TSM for VE error
Thanks for that info. Unfortunately once I forced the exclusion of that
one server it just crashes on the next server with no errors. I just
deleted all of the files in c:\windows\temp (it had thousands of leftover
TSM for VE temp files in there) and not it has kept going after the first
server (has not crashed yet) - so maybe the problem was all the files in
the temp folder. I won't know for a few hours.
The only error that is getting logged is windows saying "that service has
terminated unexpectedly".
