If you need relief before you get to Win2003, what some people do is: 1) exclude the systemobject from TSM backups 2) set up a Windows scheduled task that backs up the systemobject to a flat file:
The command is: C:\WINNT\system32\NTBACKUP.EXE backup systemstate /f c:\pathname\filename.bkf Every night the Windows scheduled task backs up system state to filename.bkf, then TSM backs up that flat file. You can set up a management class to keep as many copies of filename.bkf as you were keeping of TSM systemstate. Only 1 entry in your TSM DB per day, just as many backups of system state.

But I have a TSM server that is 5.2.3.1 and the administrator is complaining about DB growth. At this point I am asusming W2K System Object backups. I don't think updating the client version will impact how the TSM server will handle System Objects.. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Prather, Wanda Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 10:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: W2K System Objects and TSM server 5.2.3.1 I thought the relief in System Object backups (that TSM will not back up the files that haven't changed) was supposed to come with Win2K3 and XP, not Win2K? (But then, I'm easily confused...) -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adams, Matt (US - Hermitage) Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 11:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: W2K System Objects and TSM server 5.2.3.1 Just wondering if anyone in the group is seeing any relief or is the impact about the same in relation to the TSM DB and W2K System Objects.
