I would be prepared to assume it. I once tried to contact Veritas for support when a client was trying to use Backup Exec to backup Exchange databases to a TSM server. We couldn't get it to talk to the server. Not even a peep. Actlog indicated B.E. never got even as far as trying to talk to TSM. First, I got passed to *four* different technical guys before we hit one who even knew what TSM was, let alone the fact that their product supports dumping to TSM. After he poured through the install manual (which we already told him we'd done thoroughly) he solemnly declared that we needed to reinstall our TSM *server*. You can imagine our response... We eventually got it to work without Veritas's help, but after using for 3 weeks they went back to using the Tivoli agent. regards, Paul > > >-----Original Message----- > > >From: Remco Post [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 12:49 PM > > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >Subject: Re: veritas backup exec client and TSM server > > > > >But still, I have no answer to my experiences question, which is more > > >important to me than IBM politics. > > > > > > Confidentiality Note: The information transmitted is intended only for the > > person or entity to whom or which it is addressed and may contain > > confidential and/or privileged material.
