software that leverages the VMWare APIs for backup will have the same
issue as TSM for VE when backup is initiated on a VM that's stored on a
NFS
Just a comment,

Hello David,
We use the TDP for SQL client to perform our backups, using the sample
scripts that are shipped with the client. The scripts are scheduled with

We are running vmware 5.1, using tsm for ve 6.4.2, and using nfs data stores.
