"Failed 12" is a common error when TSM failed backuping a few files. Usual reasons are the file is locked, the file was removed during backup and the account running the TSM scheduler did not have access to the file.
When you looked through your dsmerror.log and dsmsched.log, you couldnt see any failed files at all? Nor any issues with backuping specific filespaces (such as parts of systemstate).

I've checked the client schedule and error logs - but there is no record of an error and all messages are what I would expect to see for a successful backup. Any ideas where else I should look?
