Eric, >From our (bad) experience with with TSM server at 5.1.6.2, and TSM client at 5.1.6.7 on a Win2k3 system, you ***can't*** perform a disaster recovery ! We had 2 opportunities testing that, using the same restore procedure we're using for Win2k systems, and both of them finished with BSOD. Maybe there is a trick to do it, but I didn't found it :-( So, that far, we're in the same situation as yours : old AIX 4.3.3, and no way to perform BMR for newest Windows systems ... The advice we had from our Windows support team was to perform a system backup using ntbackup, to a local file, and to backup that file using TSM : not an elegant solution, but better than nothing ! Regards.

Hi *SM-ers! In the TSM client manual for Windows 5.2 I found the following line: Your Windows Server 2003 client must be connected to a Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5.2.0 or higher server. (page 86) Does this mean that Windows 2003 system state recovery doesn't work when you are connected to a 5.1.7 server? This is a little bit unclear because the 5.1.6 client readme files states that Windows 2003 is supported, but the (probably older) 5.1 Windows - Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide doesn't list Windows 2003 as a supported platform and thus doesn't discuss system state recovery. We can't upgrade to 5.2 because of our current AIX level... Thanks in advance for any reply!
