Kevin, This isn't much to go by. I would try the SQL Enterprise Manager backup tool to see if it behaving in a similar way. If it is behaving the same way, try Microsoft support. If not, then try calling IBM service. IBM Service will need a trace to find out where the hang is occurring.
If you would like, here is a pointer to a web site to help you troubleshoot Data Protection for SQL problems before calling IBM support: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/TSMM/SC32-9103-00/en_US/HTML/index.html Thanks, Del ---------------------------------------------------- "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 02/25/2004 01:29:46 PM: > I am having a very difficult time with a clustered node SQL instance. 9 > times out of 10 when you run the backup either through a script or the gui > the backup just hangs.
