Well, thanks for the input.... But according to Vmware VCB is still the way to go. And you will cut your licenses cost with VCB.

It will probably save you some TSM licenses... And how TSM handles CPU/mem during backup I wont recommend you to install a TSM client on all Vmware nodes. If you're not sure, please do not give out incorrect information. TSM licenses by physical processor. If you have a 4-way VMWare server, you have to pay for 4 licenses, even if you have 20 VMs on the machine. So yes, you should put the TSM client on each VM, and a client on the VMWare host as well. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior consultant ------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message may be CONFIDENTIAL and is intended for the addressee only.
