Sorry I didn't mentioned; it is Windows client. So I guess I can create batch file backup1.cmd and put one line inside: dsm -optfile=/location/of/dsm1.opt
and than another batch file backup2.cmd with content: dsm -optfile=/location/of/dsm2.opt etc,etc It sounds like it will work. I will try and let you know.

I have multiple-schedules/instances on Solaris and Netware servers doing just what you are trying to do. Each uses different WEBPORTS and the DSMCAD java-based "GUI" to control Windows is more complicated in setting up multiple scheduler services. My windows guy says he doesn't use the GUI on a multi-instance server, unless he manually changes the dsm.opt file since he doesn't use the java/dsmcad piece.

He wants to backup different folders (that belong to different customers) with different TSM node name, and he also wants his customers to be able to lunch GUI and see only their files. I can install multiple schedules on his server that will use different dsm.opt files, but when I lunch GUI it will always use only one dsm.opt. So I can have different nodes backing up different folders, but I cannot check it with GUI. I would need some sort of start-up switch that will tell GUI which dsm.opt to use or something like this. Any ideas appreciated, Regards, Joe Crnjanski Infinity Network Solutions Inc. Phone: 416-235-0931 x226 Fax: 416-235-0265 Web: www.infinitynetwork.com
