As I mentioned the majority of my Windows 2000 servers have TSM Client V5.1 and have had no problems with backing up 'domain all-local'. Then we started installing V5.2.2 on Windows 2003 and started seeing the 'RC=12 error message'. We scrubbed that version and started installing with V5.2.2.10. We occasionally see this 'RC=12' problem failed back ups even using V5.2.2.10.
I was working with IBM Support on these issues and this is the solution that was generated from them: "The problem documented in the Apar IC38377 is generated by the TSM Client, then upgrading the TSM Server does not fix the problem, it is fixed if the current Client is upgraded to v5.2.2.10. To split the backups you should modify in the dsm.opt file, the line: Domain All-Local changing it to: Domain C: D: With this change, the current scheduled task will perform the backup of all the information on the C and D disks but not the OS files. Then you can create a command file (for example OSfiles.cmd) in the directory Baclient, with the instructions to backup the System State, System Services and the ASR files: dsmc backup systemstate dsmc backup systemservices dsmc backup asr And also a new scheduled task in the TSM Server must be created to run the command file OSfiles.cmd, this schedule will use ACTION=COMMAND and OBJECTS=OSfiles (<-- or the name you chose for the cmd file).

The dsminfo.txt file created by the "dsmc query systeminfo" command would be helpful (make sure you use the same dsm.opt file as your scheduler uses). You can attach dsminfo.txt in a response. Also, check the server activity log to see what messages are issued therein at the time this problem occurs. What are these messages?
