Hi *SM'ers

I noticed an embarasting problem on our TSM server (4.2.3.1) : I defined a Dbbackup 
trigger that should start a db backup as soon as our log reaches 70 % . What happens 
is that I see the backup triggerered, but that the effective copy on tape only starts 
approximativeley 20 -25 minutes later, sometimes leading to a server crash, due to log 
saturation (actual log size : 12 GB). As far as I know a DB backup has the highest 
priority, so how can it be that it "waits" so long before proceeding ? More confusing, 
Dbbackups initiated manually or per schedule do not behave the same way : copy on tape 
starts immediately ...

01/20/03 15:09:18 ANR4552I Full database backup triggered; started as process 340.
01/20/03 15:46:23 ANR4554I Backed up 48128 of 4159601 database pages. 
01/20/03 15:46:53 ANR4554I Backed up 127536 of 4159601 database pages.
01/20/03 15:47:23 ANR4554I Backed up 206320 of 4159601 database pages. 
Did anybody allready noticed such a behaviour, or have an explanation on what could be 
happening there ?
Thanks in advance !
Cheers.
Arnaud
