Christian,

This sounds like a combination of problems.

First check to see what permissions you have when the archive is running, i.e. are you 
running as local system account or some lower authority who is not allowed to look at 
certain files, thereby kicking off the Dr. Watson.  This could be a problem of how you 
installed your scheduler (dsmcsvc.exe), my guess is you installed it not using the 
local system account or your Dr. Watson setting a bit over zealous.

The reason your incremental works (even if being run with the same authority as for 
the archive) is because you probably have exclude statements that keep you from 
accessing the inappropriate files, meaning the ones that Dr. Watson chokes on.  
Remember archive only uses the include statements for binding to the management class 
and it ignores excludes.

The reason for lack of TSM related messages is because this is not a TSM related 
problem.  Dr. Watson sees an access violation so it kills the process right then and 
there.  Which does not allow TSM to do any reporting on the problem.

Now I have a question for you.  Why are you archiving your entire c: drive?  With more 
information we (meaning this list) could probably give you an alternative methodology.
