Yes, Tivoli does support this and if you look in any book "Using the <XXXX>
Backup-Archive Client", Chapter 2, Section "TSM Firewall Support" you can
find the answers to questions 1,3,4 .

Subject:        Supporting TSM Clients residing outside the TSM Server's
firewall

This could be a key selling point for using TSM (versus NetBackup) to back
up several servers that reside outside our firewall.  Several quick
questions on this subject:

        1.  Can it be done?
        2.  Does Tivoli support it?
        3.  Is extensive configuration of the firewall itself needed?
        4.  Is there a 'how-to' doc, redbook or other good reference
source available?

(I'm looking for an exec summary or good overview, not reams of tech
documentation)

Thanks,
