Dig a little deeper into the status of "missed". Look at the "Last Backup Completion Date/Time" in Q FILESPACE F=D for that client, and see if perhaps all filespaces are being backed up OK except the SYSTEM STATE. There are very major known problems with backing up the Windows Vista/7 SYSTEM STATE, which mostly Tivoli has said is "Broken As Designed". Basically, there is no such thing as an incremental backup of a Vista/7 SYSTEM STATE - every backup is a full backup. This can cause apparent missed backups if you have a slow network link or a slow client, so perhaps check to see if a backup is still underway at this moment. Depending on your policies, these can add up to a lot of stored data. Microsoft has apparently been completely uncooperative with Tivoli in resolving this. Some sites are combatting this problem by forcing the SYSTEM STATE into its own Management Class with very few retained copies, but that still doesn't address the fact that it's still a full backup every day. There are rumors of fixes coming in a future Windows client release, perhaps 6.2.
So perhaps these clients are actually being mostly backed up OK, and all you need to do is to exclude SYSTEM STATE. We do this for all Vista/7 clients with a Client Option Set.
