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.
Now,
this is usefull input. This means I now have an actual agrument to tell my collegues not to use this sw because it sucks and Vertias support is sub-standard. Knowing that we do have relyable backups using TSM for mail, the effort and cost of this new client is probably more expensive than a few disks (and a server to go with those).
regards,
Paul

But still, I have no answer to my experiences question, which is more important to me than IBM politics.
