Try this workaround. Create a batch file that does the following:
del C:\SystemStateBackup\SystemState.bkf
ntbackup backup systemstate /F
"C:\SystemStateBackup\SystemState.bkf"
This will backup the system objects using Windows' ntbackup utility. If
you need to restore the entire box, restore systemstate.bkf after the
TSM file restore, and you get all of your system objects back.
