You cannot backup those DBs since they are locked by SYSTEM on NT. Instead you must backup the backup copy of them (usually in the system32/wins/backup folder as for WINS). You'll have to setup WINS to make an automatic backup of its DB in WINS manager. Remember you MUST backup WINS DB manually once for the automated process to take place. See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q235/6/09.ASP for more info on backing up restoring WINS DB. DHCP, if I remember, is saved periodically and all you have to do is backup the backup copy of the DB in system32/dhcp/backup. You also can make a copy of the DHCP registry setup information in a REG file for backup. The key is located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCPServer\Configur ation. See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q130/6/42.asp for other details on moving DHCP DB. Contains usefull information on how to back it up completely. See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q145/8/81.ASP for more info hints on DHCP WINS. Hope this helps.

You should set serilization to shared dynamic to be able to backup open files, but use it with care... Leos Stehlik Hello there Does anyone know if TSM 3.7+ can backup the open WINs and DHCP databases. Using Legato currently and Legato skips these files. Planning to set the parameter to shared static under TSM for the backup of open files TIA Toni
Re: How to Restore crashed Nt /AIX server.?
I've gone through a bare-metal-restore of an NT server. I've had to restore it from a separate partition, without the need of a repair disk (that's the goal). You may follow the instructions in that red book: "SG24-2231-00 Windows NT Backup and Recovery with ADSM" Everything is clear and that's the one I used to restore the system. Note that TSM client GUI (if you happen to use it) cannot restore all NT system objects (registry, eent log, Active Directory, COM+, aso) at one time although it gives no error. You'll have to select on object type at a time. Also note it is safer to make a copy of the C:\BOOT.INI AFTER you have installed an NT system on the repair partition. In cases the boot disk is the same for both the restored and the repair systems, this allows you to boot the repair system from a diskette if the restored one crashes. Create an NT boot diskette by formatting it under NT and copying the NTDETECT, NTLDR and (optionnally) the NTBOTTDD (.SYS) files on that diskette. Take a look at www.redbooks.ibm.com for AIX.

Hi all I am using TSM3.7 .2 on AIX 4.3.3. installed on H-70. my client includes , SUN , AIX servers, NEtware servers, HP servers, and finally NT servrs. now i am usharing IBM SHARK 2105 unit as a comman storage unit for all. i have configured same setup for disaster rrecovery purpose . now i am having NT server (compaq ), with internal raid5 array, and allocated 30gig for testing purpose from SHARK. the task i want to perform is ,to show my manager , that TSM can restore a crashed server. and database also. and then they will decide weather to go for veritas or TSM . as we are in process to buy another TSM server, and configure it as a stanalone server. now how do you restore the crashed NT srever. the steps i know are: 1. Install NT from cd .(while installing insert REPAIR DISK so that it can restore registry) 2. install client code . 3. connect TSM server, and using web based client http:///hostname:1581 say backup choose files and restore. is that correct or any other procedure is there? I am doing same thing with AIX , restoring from ' mksysb ' and install client code connect and restore . but have anybody gone thorough these procedures? does it work? pls. let me know.

Re: TRying to read ACTLOG
Michel, There is a way indeed using ODBC. But, as far as I'm concerned I've not succeeded in opening any table in TSM with a silent login (i.e. passing UID and PWD directly to the driver). I get a "Catastrophic failure" and I don't know why. I've submitted that problem to Tivoli so far. I get no error if I accept the logon dialog. However if you don't mind being prompted for those information, it is a way to check the activity log by sending the query "SELECT * FROM ACTLOG" (assuming you have linked ACTLOG to an MS Access DB).

Re: Exclude does not work
Did you check the results are as expected with the GUI ? You didn't include any MGMT class in your sample. Did you (and skipped it in your sample) or is it on purpose ? What version of TSM client/server do you use ? I personnally already got into such a trap. But it worked normally as I restarted the client scheduler. Meanwhile I made sure the correct OPT file was given to the scheduler service. The file path can be checked in the registry (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ADSM Client Scheduler) The file name should be written in the "Parameters" subkey.
