The problem is in your the OBJECTS specification.
There is a subtle difference (to TSM) between specifying C: and C:\*. The
former refers to the entire drive, while the latter refers to all files in
the root of C: (and subdirectories as well if -SUBDIR=YES is specified).
In this case, your backup is not being treated as an incremental of C:,
but instead as an incremental of certain files in the root of C: (whose
pattern happens to be '*').
Try updating the schedule so that OBJECTS reads C: instead of C:\*
upd sch pd-xxxxxx bkp-files-so objects=c:
You can also test this by running a command line backup:
dsmc i c:
You should see the registry start to back up.

Subject: Registry backup on NT
Hello all,
I would like to ask you if someone has encountered the following
situation:
The Windows client manual states that if you have a line
BACKUPREGISTRY YES in the dsm.opt of a NT 4 system, a registry backup
will be taken at every incremental that includes the system drive.
My problem is: I defined a schedule for that machine as follows:
Managing profile:
Policy Domain Name: PD-XXXXXX
Schedule Name: BKP-FILES-SO
Description: Backup de SO
Action: Incremental
Options:
Objects: C:\*
Priority: 5
Start Date/Time: 09/03/2002 15:00:00
Duration: 2 Hour(s)
Period: 1 Week(s)
Day of Week: Sunday
Expiration:
Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN
Last Update Date/Time: 09/04/2002 09:53:25
Managing profile:
Since my NT is installed on the C: drive, I assume that this is a
backup that includes the system drive, and the registry would be backed
up as well. But, it doesn't. The registry is only backed up if I remove
the C:\* and make a full incremental backup of the machine. Is this
correct and I misunderstood what the manual mentioned, or is it some
kind of bug?
Further information:
Client: Windows NT 4.o SP6A with TSM client 5.1.1.5
Server: Windows 2000 SP2 with TSM server 5.1.1.4
