I have no clue; but one difference in running dsmc as yourself and via the scheduler is that you are running under different accounts.
What happens if you run the scheduler under your own account? -----Original Message----- From: Magura, Curtis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 11:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Background / Foreground Performance Mystery Client: O/S - NT4 SP6A TSM 4.2.1.20 Server: AIX 4.3.3 ML6 TSM 4.2.1.7 We have one NT client the has degraded terribly over the past couple of months. We are in the midst of upgrading clients to .20 and the hope was it would help. No luck. Here's the weird part. If I logon to the machine and run dsmc incr the backup performance is about what we expect. Last night we backed up 155.56 GB in 09:05:16. This is an Intel file server with a tad over 4.8 million files on it. If the TSM Scheduler Service starts the backup it takes more than 24 hours to complete! And even more weird it used to run using the scheduler just fine..... Standard caveats....nobody has changed anything or so they all say!!! Except of course the upgrade to the newer client that I mentioned. I also deleted and recreated the TSM Scheduler Service.... No difference. The machine is set give performance preference to background tasks per right clicking on properties of My Computer. I'm at a loss as to why the scheduler performance in unacceptable. Earlier today I setup an "AT" job to start up the dsmc incr command to see how it would run. Appears to be running at the same pace as if it was started via the Scheduler service. I'll take any help on this one! Curt Magura Lockheed Martin EIS Gaithersburg, Md. 301-240-6305
