Bruce, There is a fix to the TSM API that should solve the problem. Look at APAR IC31617. You can obtain the Version 4 Release 2, Level 1.20 of the TSM API by going here:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/patches/client/v4r2/Windows/WinNT/v421/ TDP SQL APAR IC31372 is a cascaded problem caused by APAR IC31617. Once the fixtest is applied, you should not experience IC31372. Bottom line: Apply TSM API 4.2.1.20 and retry the backup.
