This is normal with the TSM Windows client running on W2K, starting with V4.
A whole bunch of files in \system32 (all .dlls, most .exe's) are tagged by Microsoft as "System File Protected" files. These are excluded from the regular file backup, because you aren't supposed to restore them individually. The ARE included in the "system object" backup, under "system files". If you backup both the LOCAL drives AND System object with the GUI, you will get everything. The scheduler does the System OBjects, including "system files" by default when you schedule an incremental, so this causes most people no problems. The Microsoft "system protected" files thing and the way TSM supports them are described in one of the Redbooks you can get at www.redbooks.ibm.com: Tivoli Storage Manager Version 3.7.3 & 4.1: Technical Guide SG24-6110-00 Look at chapter 6. TSM Windows Client Win2000 support. -----Original Message----- From: Salak Juraj [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 11:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Question 5.1.1.0 / NT2000 / invisible local NT2000 files Hello, does somebody tested this simple thing in 5.1.1.0 on NT2000: will TSM client backup all files on the disk? 1) dsmc select c:\winnt\* -subdir=yes 2) compare the count of files backed up to those found with DIR command (there are no exclude�s in the . OPT file for test purposes, I am logged in with local admin rights) I found out that many files will NOT GET BACKED UP. No error messages, they are simply skipped. I did not look for locked files, only for normal files without any special access rights, atributes, locks. For example, c:\winnt\system32\*.exe: I get NOT backed-up the calc.exe, but I do can copy/rename/delete it using explorere or cmd.exe. I retried it on freshly installed NT2000 system, same results. Both Systems were German, latest fixpacks, the TSM Filesystems are unicode. The problem is common to both tsm command line and GUI, in the client GUI I even will not see this local files at all. When I boot from another instance of NT2000 (same computer, D: partition), I can backup all files on C:, so it probably not a problem with local NTFS file sysetm. What could be the reason? best regards Juraj Salak Asamer Holding G M B H EDV Unterthalhamstra�e 2 A-4694 Ohlsdorf �sterreich www.asamer.at B�ro: +43 7612 799 529 Mobil: +43 664 528 6474 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
