Steve, Yes but not at the TSM server "q schedule" or the operational reporting. The schedule launches the cmd file. To TSM the schedule is then successful even though the backup is still running. We wrote our own reporting scripts that verify completion based on the TDP client log files.

Duane, I don't understand your reference to not getting accurate schedule based success or failure messages - we use the batch method, and as long as the errorlevel from the command line backup is captured and used as the exit code, you should see accurate returncode results.

Goran, There are many ways to perform it. I use a cmd file that is launched by TSM schedule and TSM scheduler service. The only issue is you don't get accurate schedule based success or failure messages. I know some others use windows scheduler to perform the task via a cmd file or bat file. There are also other products out there that allow scheduling with some reporting logic, I don't use any, but I have seen references on the adsm website.
