I can speak, at least in part, to some of your issues. 1a. For the scheduled event problem, TSM creates two relevant logs: dsmsched.log and dsmerror.log. Whenever you encounter problems, those should be the first places to look. I suspect the dsmerror.log will indicate a problem with the file system specification, e.g., 'C' vs. 'C:'. TSM requires the ending ':' when specifying Windows or NetWare file system names.
1b. Also, I see you a have BACKUP IMAGE operation scheduled with the DAILY_INCR schedule. While technically valid, I suggest scheduling image backup with a schedule name that is more in line with the type of operation, e.g., DAILY_IMAGE, etc.. :-) 2. Regarding the LAN-free question, I would offer an answer if I could, but more information is needed. General recommendation: When asking questions on the list server, I cannot stress enough the importance of providing detailed background to the problem, including (but not necessarily limited to) specific symptoms of the problem, such as example output that illustrates the problem in context; what you are seeing versus what you expect to see; corresponding entries in dsmerror.log, etc; configuration information such as dsm.opt, client option set; related server and storage agent setup, etc. 3. Unfortunately for the tape issue, I do not have the expertise to speak to that. Maybe someone else would know; and refer to suggestions made above re: info about your tape environment; one thing to check is whether the device class mount limit is set to a value higher than 1.
