TSM doesn't support backups to local client media. However, an alternative solution is a real-time replication app like DoubleTake. You can replicate desired files across your T1 to a box that is already a TSM client, and then backup the replicant. I'm a big fan of DoubleTake. Email me offline if you're interested. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
