With W2K and NT (some version of IE added) you can use the Task Scheduler. (Scheduled Tasks folder under My Computer (NT) or Control Panel (W2K)). This is basically a GUI for AT. AT scheduled commands end up here. You can also use WINAT a GUI from the resource kit on NT.
One advantage of using this scheduling over TSM is more flexibility. We have some schedules that we execute every hour from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, Monday to Friday. Simple to do with one Schedule with Scheduled Tasks. Takes a whole whack of schedules under TSM. But as Wanda says you then have to do your own error checking for failed schedules.

If this is just one important server, you could give it two TSM nodenames; that way you can install two scheduler services, one that backs up D: and one that backs up C. That way you don't have the problem of one schedule waiting on the other, and the usual TSM CLIENT EVENT tables will tell you if the schedules work or fail. You will have to buy a second TSM client license. If you want to do it with .bat files: I just created two files on my system: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ c: cd c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient dsmc incremental c:\ pause +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ c: cd c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient dsmc incremental d:\ pause +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I started them both running at the same time, no problem. (Once you get them working on your system, take out the PAUSE statement.) To schedule these, look at the Windows AT command (Open a DOS window, enter HELP AT). It's like CRON for WinNT. I'm not a WIndows expert, and I don't have a WinNT system to test it (this is Win2K) but I think it's the same: A simple version: at 13:30 /every:monday,tuesday "D:\backupc.bat" If you just type AT, it displays the tasks that are currently scheduled via AT. The disadvantage is that the TSM central scheduler isn't aware that you re doing this, so you won't see successes/failures in the client EVENTS. Hope that helps...
