Take advantage of IBM's online information... Searching www.ibm.com for "Error 8 retrieving Backup Objects" turns up new, open APAR IC47577, which looks like a match. Review your dsmerror.log for further correlation. The best overall solution is to stop using Windows. :-)

Hi all, This morning i noticed that our TSM failed to backup one of our nodes. A look at the activity log revealed following errors: ANR9999D imgroup.c(1180): ThreadId<52> Error 8 retrieving Backup Objects row for object 0.11583818 (SESSION: 2736) Oct 25, 2005 11:05:09 PM ANR9999D ThreadId<52> issued message 9999 from: (SESSION: 2736) Oct 25, 2005 11:05:10 PM ANR9999D smnode.c(7343): ThreadId<52> Session 2736: Invalid Group Id 0,11583818 for ADD function (SESSION: 2736) Oct 25, 2005 11:05:10 PM ANR9999D ThreadId<52> issued message 9999 from: (SESSION: 2736) Oct 25, 2005 11:05:10 PM ANR0403I Session 2736 ended for node ***** (WinNT). (SESSION: 2736) Also, activity log shows that node has sent objects to the server but server reports that 0 objects has been backed up (probably as a result of above error). We have never had failed node backup with this error as a reason. Also at the same time, all other backups finished just fine.. While i was searching a adsm.org list for info on this error I stumbled upon this discussion. I wonder if anyone has discovered what this error actually means?!? We are using Tivoli Storage Manager: 5.3.2 on Win 2003 server. Thank you very much...
