Easy, don't reboot ;)
Seriously you should say what your server is (looks like a Wintel server
from 'ere judging by the reboot issue).
Are you losing the driver or connectivity? Does it come back if you
probe the device list/interface?
What's your firmware level on the drives themselves?
Suad
How would you exclude the systemobject from a scheduled backup?
Does TSM 4.2.2 Client (on 4.2.1.9 on AIX server) support 'exclude
systemobject' in the dsm.opt file?
or conversley will exclude.dir adsm.sys do the trick?

In 5.1.5, you could code a domain statement like this:
DOMAIN ALL-LOCAL -SYSTEMOBJECT
In versions below 5.1.5, you need to take the more brute force approach
of specifying the file systems you wish to back up. For example, the
following DOMAIN statement in dsm.opt will do this:

This could be IC33683 (fixed in 5.1.5.0, due out 11 October). If you can't
wait until then, open a problem with support, and they should be able to

to fix this in 4.2.x.

to do it (shutdown -m). It doesn't do incremental backups.

Hi Zoltan,
The file name in the ANE4987E message is not written as a single string,

together:

- the high-level name

Yes, the 5.1 clients are supported with the 4.2 servers; though the usual
