Thanks, Andy! Earlier after checking with the NT administrator, I found out that the box was REBOOTED in the middle of the night during the backup!
Yes, I have seen this message before, but from now on I will make sure to check with the NT administrator 1st to see if it was initiated on his end!

What part do you need me to elaborate on? But in answer to your question near the bottom of this post, this would be initiated external to TSM. As to whether it is user or system-initiated, I can not say for sure. I guess if I had to pick one, I'd say user... but then someone could also have automated something that triggers this event. For example, those messages could have been logged if the system was shut down and rebooted while in the middle of a backup, or if the scheduler was stopped, then restarted. If the backup window was still open, then the scheduled backup would have restarted, as QUERY EVENT showed you. As to what the *exact* cause of this is, I can't say. But there is nothing here to suggest a problem with TSM itself. (Doesn't mean it can't be a heretofore unknown TSM problem, but the fact that the scheduler is restarting on its own suggests some intervention external to TSM.) Your message implies that this has happened more than once, but you don't say how many times. If it is happening multiple times, then you and/or the machine's owner/administrator will need to play "detective" to get a better understanding as to what is happening on the system. Some questions to ask yourself: Does it happen at around the same time every night? When did it start to happen? What changes were made to the system or network around the time this started to occur? Is this a (usually) unattended server, or is it a user workstation? Is there anything in the Windows Event Log around that timeframe that might shed some light on the matter? And so on....
