We are running a small Windows script as a preschedule command with in the nightly scheduled backups. The script named presched.cmd resides in C:\SysBackup looks like:
@echo off REM Backup Microsoft Windows 2003 SystemState REM REM Purpose: REM additional backups for windows 200x systemstate REM run this procedure previously to TSM incremental backup REM REM Parameters in dsm.opt: REM preschedulecmd "C:\SysBackup\presched.cmd" REM DOMAIN <Drive_1>: [Drive_2>] REM or REM DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL -SYSTEMSTATE REM set TSM_INSTALL_DIR="c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient set LOG_FILE=%TSM_INSTALL_DIR%\sysstate.log" set ERROR_LOG=%TSM_INSTALL_DIR%\sysstate.err" REM ntbackup backup systemstate "@C:\SysBackup\sysstate.bks" /J "Systemstate Backup" /L:f /F "C:\Sysbackup\sysstate.bkf" > %LOG_FILE% 2>%ERROR_LOG% REM REM If systemstate backup failed TSM Schedule will not run. Delete next line if you don't want this. exit %ERRORLEVEL% The ntbackup options file C:\SysBackup\sysstate.bks contains the word "SystemState" followed by a blank line.

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 ?
