According to the manual this is the meaning of return code 4: ------------------------ The operation completed successfully, but some files were not processed. There were no other errors or warnings. This return code is very common. Files are not processed for various reasons. The most common reasons are:
The file is in an exclude list. The file was in use by another application and could not be accessed by the client. The file changed during the operation to an extent prohibited by the copy serialization attribute. See Copy serialization. ------------------------ Maybe you should check dsmsched.log and/or dsmerror.log on your client to see which files aren't backed up and why.
