Why not just backup the whole machine at 23:45 and don't even use the 20:00 one. Unless I'm misunderstanding you requirement?

That single directory "D:\XYZ" (also content and subdirectories) must be backup at 23:45 (than I can shutdown the database during 20 minutes). I was thinking about a new schedule with a new opt-file but what should I specify in that new tsm-file? Any - other - ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance. Chris
