Hello, We backup the databases to local drives then have TSM pick the backup files.

Has anyone done that? We do not have the Tivoli TDP agent, nor any other agents that handle open database files. I am not the best script writer, but I was thinking to build a script somewhat like the following: preschedulecmd detach-script cd \Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient dsmc selective -Filelist=f:\mssql\jobs\DBs.txt > f:\mssql\log\DB-%1-bkup.log postschedulecmd attach-script detach-script: exec sp_detach_db 'dbname1' 'true' go exec sp_detach_db 'dbname2' 'true' go attach-script: exec sp_attach_db 'dbname1' go exec sp_attach_db 'dbname2' go Thanks!
