Mark, What led you to believe that? I don't see any evidence that TSM uses ntbackup - I don't see any command line options that allow output similar to the contents of adsm.sys from ntbackup, and it always pops up the GUI screen.
The supported method to backup the registry live is available from the NT or W2K resource kit - regback.exe. The output of regback is identical to that of the contents of adsm.sys, and the contents of adsm.sys can be restored with it's complement, regrestore. It would be interesting if we could use ntbackup to restore the registry - let me know if you have a way to do this.

Yes, I believe that TSM actually uses NTbackup to generate the files for backup. I know of no other way to back up a copy of a hot NT registry, and the existence of the adsm.sys directory would tend to confirm that. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
