There is a APAR currently for this problem. However in the mean time we use NTBackup to backup the System State to a flat file kicked off by a VB script, which we run as a preschedulecmd in the dsm.opt file.

On NT 4.0, it is correct that all you see is the registry and event log in the "SYSTEM OBJECT" file space. In sum, Windows NT 4.0 support is as it always has been: TSM backs up regular files, registry, and event log.

Unfortunately that doesn't say that all files are backed up. My Windows NT machine also has a SYSTEM OBJECT filespace on the TSM server. However, it only contains the registry files and the event log. The presence of the SYSTEM OBJECT filespace does not guarantee that it contains all system object files.

When we did an incremental backup on a system without a DOMAIN statement in dsm.opt a file space of the type "SYSTEM OBJECT" would appear on the TSM server for this node. So I think one can assume that the system object is included by default.
