If you have a stand-alone SCSI tape drive, attach that to the TSM server, define it and then generate the backupset to that devclass.
Or what about creating a FILE devclass with the with a MAXCAPACITY of either the CD size or DVD if you're using that. Then FTP them over to a Windows box to burn the CD/DVD. Just make sure to use BINary transfer mode. I've heard of people doing that. Bill Boyer "Backup my harddrive?

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?
