>From a technical point of view I personally wouldn't think so in this case - the TSM SAN Storage Agent is a significant piece of code in its own right (pretty much a cut-down TSM Server I understand) to be sparingly used (in my opinion) for very specific applications and scenarios to meet particular backup and recovery requirements. It's quite a different beast from the B/A client, requiring IBM development and support resources of its own I'm sure on top of the BA client stuff, so it being an additional licensed item kinda makes sense to me.

Even the continuous protection for windows-based clients. Mehdi
