The TSM 4.2.0 client for Windows NT/2000 is Unicode-enabled and will support the client environment where file names from various code pages are co-mingled in a file system. This support co-req's a TSM 4.2 server. The message you are seeing indicates that the file in question contains characters which are not within the same code page as language of the operating system from which the TSM client is being run and that you either are not running at TSM 4.2 server or have not migrated the client to a Unicode-enabled file space. The migration is documented in the Windows "Using the Backup-Archive Client" manual for v4.2.0. Regards, Mike Dile Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development [EMAIL PROTECTED]
