It does seem the only practical way to use the backupsets is when the server and client are on the same platform, or at least windows server/windows client and unix server/unix client.

I've restored a Windows client on AIX and after that nothing could be done anymore with the AIX client, because it's type got changed to Unicode. So I think your conclusion might be right.

I conclude that it is not practical to generate a backupset on an AIX server and use that CD on a windows client. Anyone ever done that?
