delay re-boot

Does anyone know if there is a way I can get TSM 4.1.2.12 to not ask for a re-boot after an install on an NT Server. I am doing a silent install as part of a script. I need the script to complete before the server reboots. For now it reboots halfway through the script. TIA Toni

Thanks to all those who replied. I am now using TSM4.1 to run these test backups. Each backup is taking around 1hr longer than the previous backup. I noticed that the files are being marked as inactive when I run the next sel backup so I assume this is the reason for the extra hrs delay on the bac

more on database size

The admin guide for ADSM says add 50% to the initial size of the database with TSM 3.7 it says to add 135% to the initial size Has anyone noticed this, does this seem right Toni

Database size query

Just to make sure i'm on the right track I am trying to work out the size of a TSM database according to the TSM concepts guide which is the total no. of files being backed up * versions kept * 600B *135% (for overhead and growth). No of files = 234333 versions kept = 130 234333*130 = 304632
