That link says tsm 5.5. This is a 5.4 client. Does it also have the problem?

Or, it can be VSS issues. Open a CMD window, enter: vssadmin list writers You should get immediate response, and the "state" of all the writers should be stable. vssadmihn list writers is a Windows command, no TSM code; if that hangs, then you have to start researching and applying VSS patches: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21242128 On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 1:30 PM, David E Ehresman <[email protected]>wrote: > TSM Server 5.4.4.0 running on AIX 5.3 with 2 bonded gig ethernet. > > About 15% of my WIndows servers take over 5 hours to backup SYSTEM STATE. > The rest all backup in 2 - 50 minutes.
