Hi TSM-ers! I have to correct something... I thought our Window department was using VMWare. They are not, they use Microsoft Virtual Machine, which seems to be a similar product as VMWare. There is no integration with TSM here, right? Thanks again! Kind regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Our windows department is looking at different backup products for backing up their server. They have two major problems with TSM. One I cannot solve: the TSM client license is processor based, so quite expensive for the majority of small servers. I think we all agree that the TSM client license should be capacity based, but IBM aint listening here... The other problem is that they state TSM cannot backup running VM's. They now use a product called DPM to make snapshot copies of running VM's. I'm not really familiar with Window server management, especially when it comes to virtualization, but I know one thing: TSM is one of the leading, cutting edge backup products, so I doubt TSM is not supporting this feature. Does anybody know whether it is possible to make snapshot backups with TSM of running VM's? Thank you very much in advance for any reply!!!
