I'm with Steffan. Can someone find this "guy" and tell "him" to be nice and 
have a clue!
What is "ADSML"?

 Subject: Re: ADSM Implementation (Was Nacking NT NTFS fs')









Talking about implementation, here's a FAIR way of looking at ADSM.

GREAT IDEA!  Nice having somewhat consistent backup interface
across literally any and all platforms.

QUESTIONABLE implementation. It is customary to respect those that
actually have done such a project, but when rubber meets the road,
there are potholes and speedbumps.  What makes this worse is
how the whole ADSM package is coded: ie by whom and where.  Expecially
what happens when different pieces are brought together.  ISO schm-ISO.
(Read Job Security Bro'tha'!)  And the documentation, kills trees,
also makes for a good doorstop!  (See Messages Guide or Admin Ref)

BTW, Tivoli is just a Marketing front, IBM is still driving the car.
