hello Ruud, we are using batch commandos like
cd "C:\Program Files\tivoli\tsm\baclient" dsmc backup vm vmserver01 -vmbackuptype=full -mode=iffull/ifincr -asnodename=datacenter >> c:\tsmlogs.txt dsmc backup vm vmserver02 -vmbackuptype=full -mode=iffull/ifincr -asnodename=datacenter >> c:\tsmlogs.txt and so on and limit the parallel sessions to 4 or 8. the scheduler is associated with each datamover. the batch files have the same name but different vms to backup with best regards stefan savoric
