Hi John, Try this. In DSM.OPT can you set a pre/post script. Because of your TSM Schedule service is probably running System Account.
System Account have no access to any network shares even if you set the network shares to Everyone full access. What you need to do is setup a script next to TSM that login to the share with another user accout or change the TSM Schedule services to use a user account instead of System Account. Here is an example a script can look like ******** Pre-script********** @Echo off net use b: \\myserver\share$ /user:myserver\username password ******** Pre-script********** ******** Post-script********** @Echo off net use b: /del ******** Post-script********** If I where you I should run one script where you do everything direct, then should the script something like this. ******** Pre-script********** @Echo off net use b: \\myserver\share$ /user:myserver\username password cd /d "C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\BaClient" dsmc i b:\ -subdir=yes net use b: /del ******** Pre-script********** Good Luck Best Regards Christian Svensson Cell: +46-70-325 1577 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: cristie.christian.svensson ________________________________________ Från: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] för Schneider, John [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 5 december 2008 22:27 Till: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Ämne: Backup of share will not work with schedule Greetings, I have a server that I can't install the TSM client on because the vendor who owns it won't permit it. 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.
