All, Recently there have been some posts from people trying to use the WinPE doc to backup and/or restore image based backups with TSM using WinPE. I wanted you to know that there is a known issue when you use a WinPE CD built from a Windows 2003 installation. The TSM client will crash when run. However, when you use a WinPE CD built from a WinXP installation (I used WinXP Pro) everything works as it should. Tivoli is aware of this issue but being that WinPE built from WinXP works I'm not sure how fast a fix will be available.
If you have a WinPE CD built from Windows 2003 and you want to create one from WinXP you can use the following KP article to do so http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;303891 Again, remember if you are using a dsm.opt file that has any log entries in it (dsmsched, dsmtrace or dsmerror) make sure they don't point to the drive that you are trying to restore.
