You could always add the DSM_* environemtn variables to the client node. DSM_DIR= DSM_CONFIG=
and add the DSM_DIR to the PATH variable. There is a section in the Windows B/A client manual titles "Setting environment variables" that describe these. One of the reasons listed is: "1. You want to invoke Tivoli Storage Manager from a directory other than the directory where Tivoli Storage Manager is installed." If you set these variables for the System-level you can then use the original command "DSMC BACKUP ..." wihtout having to code up a .BAT file which CD's to the directory. Cuts out some steps, but works just the same.

That worked just Great! Makes sense as the TSM Server Scheduler contacts the TSM Client API which should know what Dir its in... Dahhh!
