I have exactly the same issue with a couple of my clients (netware).
The files no longer exist on the client, but I see many ANS1228E failure
messages.
However the backup completes successfully with the failures totalled in the
Activity statistics.
I would suggest that you take it up with IBM, but I see that although your
server is supported your client is down level, so you might not get very far.
I would raise it myself but both mine are unsupported client levels , with the
clients due for replacement.

Subject: Re: Client tries to backup non-existing files
Hi,
Is yout client backing up the whole file system or just specific files?
Like 'dsmc inc "/bla/bla/my*files.txt`
Also you can try umount and fsck for those file system, but I suspect the
problem is somewhere in the
backup file specifications.
If all the other files are backed up apart from those "missing" files, then
the backup is successfull afterall. :)

Subject: Client tries to backup non-existing files
Hi all,
I have a rather bizarre problem.
One of our customers tries to backup a
file system on a Solaris 5.8 system
using a 4.1.2.0 TSM client.
Our server is 4.2.3.1 on AIX 4.3.3.0
Every night the backup fails because
the client is unable to backup hundreds
of files. The log file is filled with
messages like these:
12/19/02 04:43:43 ANS1228E Sending of object '/bla/bla/file' failed
Every night the client complains about the same files.
And now for the bizarre part: According to our
customer these files have been removed from
the client some time ago. They are no longer present
on the disks of the system. And yet the client
tries to backup them (and because they are not there
any more it fails).
I found one strange thing about these ghost files:
Their names contain an *
For example: my*file.txt
Has anybody seen this before? I can't find anything in
the FAQ or the archives about a similar problem.
Regards,
Alexander
