There was a code change and a subsequent APAR taken. I do not know offhand the APAR number. In version 5.1 of the TSM clients there will be documented and reliable return codes that will indicated a completely successful backup or a partially successful backup.

Hello, Just started running the 4.2.1 client on win2000. In previoius versions, it would seem that 1 or 2 files may "fail" -like ntuser.dat, and userclass.dat, but the backup would still finish with a status of "completed" (query event).... BUT now with the 4.2.1 client, it seems that if the same files fail (2 or 4 total), then the entire scheduled backup is declared "failed"... even if it has backed up every other file.... Anyone have an insight on what seems to be a lowering of a threshold? Keith
