It is very difficult to provide specific answers when there is very little detail provided. For example, output from QUERY SCHEDULE F=D for the schedule you defined.
In general, it would probably be better to put the command into a script, then have the scheduler run the script. For example: REM BEGIN SCRIPT set BACKUPLOG=SysState.log cd /d "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient" echo. >> %BACKUPLOG% echo ******************************************************************************** >> %BACKUPLOG% echo %date% %time% Beginning system state backup >> %BACKUPLOG% dsmc backup systemstate >> %BACKUPLOG% 2>&1 echo %date% %time% System state backup ended with return code %ERRORLEVEL% >> %BACKUPLOG% REM END SCRIPT On another note, I happened to notice the following from your original post: > 04/04/2006 15:00:36 Schedule Name: DKSHH03_INCR > 04/04/2006 15:00:36 Action: Incremental > 04/04/2006 15:00:36 Objects: c:\ d:\ e:\ > 04/04/2006 15:00:36 Options: -subdir=yes > 04/04/2006 15:00:36 Server Window Start: 02:30:00 on 04/05/2006 I do no know why you have your objects specified like this, but in general, I would recommend setting the schedule with these settings: objects="c: d: e:" options="" to get full incremental backup processing of your drives.
