Hi, We also have a number of Windows 2000 clients (5.3.2.0) that seem to hang the entire system during a backup. The client has to be rebooted to get it working again. I searched the web and found APAR IC47248 which suggested there is a problem with the TSM Logical Volume Snapshot Agent. Since the client was using Open File Support I asked the user to de-install the LVSA (thereby disabling OFS). I haven't heard from the user since then so I assume that solved the problem.
