Mehdi, I am just curious of on error. I have a lot of TDP installed and I'm not getting this kind of error. Can you please try this sqlfull.cmd?
rem rem This is the default SQLTEST.CMD file for TDP2.2 - created 7/19/01 rem this backs pubs to adsm rem @ECHO OFF set sql_dir=C:\adsm\TDPSql C: cd %sql_dir% rem ================================================================== rem 2 lines below put a date and time stamp in a log file for you. rem ================================================================== date < NUL >> %sql_dir%\sqlsched.log time < NUL >> %sql_dir%\sqlsched.log %sql_dir%\tdpsqlc backup pubs full /tsmoptfile=%sql_dir% \adsm\tdpsql\dsm.opt /sqlserver=<sqlserver_instance> /logfile=%sql_dir% \sqlfull.log >> %sql_dir%\sqlsched.log This will backup the pubs dB and save an output to log sqlfull.log and another log sqlsched.log. You can create a test schedule and call this sqltest.cmd as an object. If this the backup is successfull you can see sqlfull.log that looks like this: 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Request : FULL BACKUP 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Database Input List : pubs 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Group Input List : - 07/24/2002 16:39:16 File Input List : - 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Number of Buffers : 3 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Buffer Size : 1024 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Number of SQL Buffers : 0 07/24/2002 16:39:16 SQL Buffer Size : 1024 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Number of Stripes specified : 1 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Estimate : - 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Truncate Log? : - 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Wait for Tape Mounts? : Yes 07/24/2002 16:39:16 TSM Options File : C:\adsm\TDPSql\dsm.opt 07/24/2002 16:39:16 TSM Nodename Override : - 07/24/2002 16:39:16 Sqlserver : VC0699NTW1 07/24/2002 16:39:16 07/24/2002 16:39:21 Total SQL backups selected: 1 07/24/2002 16:39:21 Total SQL backups attempted: 1 07/24/2002 16:39:21 Total SQL backups completed: 1 07/24/2002 16:39:21 Total SQL backups excluded: 0 07/24/2002 16:39:21 Total SQL backups inactivated: 0 07/24/2002 16:39:21 Throughput rate: 578.89 Kb/Sec 07/24/2002 16:39:21 Total bytes transferred: 1,786,640 07/24/2002 16:39:21 Elapsed processing time: 3.01 Secs Hope this will help.
