Hi, We gave configured NTBACKUP with it's wizard to perform daily backups to local disks (d:\ntbackup).
TSM backup this directory during its daily backup routine. So, we use both TSM system state backup and NTBACKUP.

We have seen problems caused by the infamous DRM registry key and VSS but most problems have been fixed with newer clients and Windoz patches. On our AD servers, we are using NTBACKUP because M$ says that is the *ONLY* acceptible/sanctioned backup/restore utility but still backup the rest of the system with TSM.

I am always running into issues with some servers not able to get a successfull SYSTEMSTATE backup via TSM Latest clients have been Windows 2003 servers at 5.5.0 level If someone is how are you scheduling the NTBACKUP ?
