Gerald, That's the way it works............. Veritas does the same thing, the return code is 1 though.
I will give you some advice, exclude the dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log , these files are written to when a backup is happening. No need for them to be backed up (my opinion) your backups will always fail if you include them. I would also exclude the c$\Documents and Settings\Administrator\* path ... If a user forgets to log out, there going to dink your backup. Gabriel C.

Is it just me or does it seem abnormal for the client to fail the backup simply because it failed to backup a few files that were open at the time of the backup? My understanding was that the backup would always be *SUCCESSFUL* in this case. Looking through dsmsched.log It looks to me like a successful backup. The only error I see is on three files (the rest is filled with successful backups of files and system objects): 11/20/2001 20:06:06 ANS1228E Sending of object '\\sfloader\c$\Documents and Settings\Administrator\NTUSER.DAT' failed 11/20/2001 20:06:06 ANS4987E Error processing '\\sfloader\c$\Documents and Settings\Administrator \NTUSER.DAT': the object is in use by another process 11/20/2001 20:06:07 ANS1228E Sending of object '\\sfloader\c$\Documents and Settings\Administrator\ntuser.dat.LOG' failed 11/20/2001 20:06:07 ANS4987E Error processing '\\sfloader\c$\Documents and Settings\Administrator \ntuser.dat.LOG': the object is in use by another process 11/20/2001 20:06:17 ANS1228E Sending of object '\\sfloader\c$\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmsched.log' failed 11/20/2001 20:06:17 ANS4037E File '\\sfloader\c$\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmsched.log' changed during processing.
