FYI:
Hi Mike,
APAR IC34853 has been taken top correct this problem.
It's still open.
I'll monitor it for closure and let you know.
APAR= IC34853 SER= IN INCORROUT
TSM BACKUP OF WIN 2000 ACTIVE DIRECTORY SYSTEM OBJECT CAN REPORT
SUCCESS DESPITE FAILURE DURING BACKUP ATTEMPT.
STAT= OPEN FESN0909258- CTID= SJ0291 ISEV= 2
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
TSM client backup of the Windows 2000 active directory (AD)
system object can report success even though the backup of the
AD never occurs.
.
Recreate steps:
1. On the Win2k Domain Controller, revoke the Administrative
share privilages at the drive level for the drive where the
AD files (ntds.dit, etc) reside.
2. Run a backup of the AD system object using TSM:
dsmc backup activedirectory
3. The following statistics and result reported:
Backup System Object: 'Windows NT Directory Services'.
.
Selective Backup processing of 'Windows NT Directory
Services' finished without failure.
Total number of objects inspected: 1
Total number of objects backed up: 2
Total number of objects updated: 0
Total number of objects rebound: 0
Total number of objects deleted: 0
Total number of objects expired: 0
Total number of objects failed: 0
Total number of bytes transferred: 0 B
Data transfer time: 0.00 sec
Network data transfer rate: 0.00 KB/sec
Aggregate data transfer rate: 0.00 KB/sec
Objects compressed by: 0%
Elapsed processing time: 00:00:04
.
None of the AD system object data is ever sent to the TSM server
but the above messages indicate no failure in this attempt. A
service trace indicates the following error:
fioGetAttrib(\\machinename\c£\WINNT\NTDS\NTDS.DIT): Entry.
fioGetAttrib(\\machinename\c£\WINNT\NTDS\NTDS.DIT) failed.
fioGetAttrib(): FindFirst: Share path name
\\machinename\c£\WINNT\NTDS\NTDS.DIT is no longer exists
TransWin32RC(): Win32 RC 67 from fioGetAttrib():FindFirstFile
TransWin32RC(): Translated Win32 RC 67 to RC 264
.
It is also noted that backup of the drive data succeeds without
failure, even though the Administrative share privilages have
been revoked. There is no clear reason why the AD backup fails
and the regular client file backup succeeds. The particular
point of failure appears to indicate a specific call
FindFirstFile() is used only for AD backups, and not normal file
backups. It is this call that causes the failure, since it
uses the UNC name as shown in the above trace segment.
Initial Impact: Med
LOCAL FIX:
Do not revoke Administrative Share access at the drive level.

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.

Microsoft does not support the "system state" concept on Windows NT 4.0,
and so TSM can't support it, either. 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.

Hi Alexander!
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.
Kindest regards,

Hi Eric,
We did some tests on Windows XP (not 2000). 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.
Best regards,
Alexander
