Hello, John. Instead of using a regular backup schedule, you could use a command schedule. The command object would be a batch file that executes a "net use" command and then backs up the share. Something like this:
net use z: \\172.17.16.101\archive2 password /user:username dsmc inc z: >mylogfile 2>&1 net use z: /d The advantage is that you can connect to the network resource independent of what account under which the scheduler service runs. The drawback, of course, is that password would be in clear-text in your batch file. From a command prompt, type "net help use" for further details on "net use". Good luck! ________________________________ Alex Paschal Storage Solutions Engineer MSI Systems Integrators (503) 943-6919 - Office (503) 539-8361 - Cell ________________________________ Your Business.

There is not a Windows domain involved here; I think the two clients' security is a workgroup. I am logged in to the local Administrator account, and I presume the TSM Client Acceptor is running as the local System account as usual. So you think the problem here has something to do with Windows security, not with how I set up the TSM client or schedule? Best Regards, John D.

One alternative seemed to be to share the directory that must be backed up, and acces that share from another server to back it up explicitely as an object. We created a share on that server that we can access from another server. I can log in to the other server, bring up the TSM line mode client, and back it up with: dsmc inc \\172.17.16.101\archive2\ -subdir=yes And that backs up fine. But when I build a schedule with the \\172.17.16.101\archive2\ <file://172.17.16.101/archive2/> as the object, it fails. The dsmsched.log is below. Does anyone know the scheduler won't backup a filesystem that the linemode client backs up fine? 12/04/2008 13:00:11 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY BEGIN 12/04/2008 13:00:11 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY END 12/04/2008 13:00:11 Next operation scheduled: 12/04/2008 13:00:11 ------------------------------------------------------------ 12/04/2008 13:00:11 Schedule Name: EXCELLERA_ARCHIVE2 12/04/2008 13:00:11 Action: Incremental 12/04/2008 13:00:11 Objects: \\172.17.16.101\archive2\ <file://172.17.16.101/archive2/> 12/04/2008 13:00:11 Options: -subdir=yes 12/04/2008 13:00:11 Server Window Start: 13:00:00 on 12/04/2008 12/04/2008 13:00:11 ------------------------------------------------------------ 12/04/2008 13:00:11 Executing scheduled command now. 12/04/2008 13:00:11 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT BEGIN EXCELLERA_ARCHIVE2 12/04/2008 13:00:00 12/04/2008 13:00:11 Incremental backup of volume '\\172.17.16.101\archive2\' 12/04/2008 13:00:13 ANS1228E Sending of object '\\172.17.16.101\archive2\*' failed 12/04/2008 13:00:13 ANS1063E The specified path is not a valid file system or logical volume name. 12/04/2008 13:00:13 --- SCHEDULEREC STATUS BEGIN 12/04/2008 13:00:13 --- SCHEDULEREC OBJECT END EXCELLERA_ARCHIVE2 12/04/2008 13:00:00 12/04/2008 13:00:13 ANS1512E Scheduled event 'EXCELLERA_ARCHIVE2' failed.
