Re: Scheduling TSM backups using 3rd party schedulers

Hi, for most of the backups we use the TSM scheduler. For some others, we use Tivoli Workload Scheduler (former Maestro, Unisson). No problem with it. Db2 backups are scheduled with AIX crons, TWS might be used there too. Regards, René LAMBELET NESTEC SA

To check if it is permissions, a simple check to do if you have the web client is to connect and try to do a backup. If you don't see the drive and the drive exists, it is a permission issue. The schedule service and the service for the web client use the System Account by default.
