Yes, I've been bitten by this. A Windows 2000 client ran the Client Acceptor under the LocalSystem account. One day, the Windows administrator changed a drive to exclude LocalSystem from having access. The TSM client didn't use a DOMAIN statement. This resulted in that drive to be skipped without *any* message, warning or error. If the drive would have been in a DOMAIN statement, an error would have been issued. There is an APAR for this behaviour, but that is closed as a suggestion because IBM finds it too much trouble to fix. -- Jurjen Oskam PGP Key available at http://www.stupendous.org/
