So, the Scheduler Daemon provided does not actually work? This machine is actually a server in our secure comms room, so it's not a big issue and I assume the manual scheduler does not add significant overhead to the machine resources. It will do until they iron out all problems I guess.

It does work, and the last couple updates have taken care of very critical problems. The major problem that remains is that the Scheduler (which is the agent that communicates with the server and facilitates scheduled backups) is an interactive application and cannot run in the background. This means that you have to be logged in at the console as an admin user in order for the Scheduler to work. If this is the type of machine where there's only one or two admins, and you're comfortable using something like a screensaver password to protect the console, then TSM can work quite well. The reason for this issue is that IBM essentially carbonized the old Mac OS version, keeping the single user paradigm. The client is being completely rewritten by IBM, and a version that has a scheduler capable of running as a background process will be available this year.
