Charles,

Bad news.
TSM does not do cross platform restore.
ie.
AIX -> Solaris
Windows -> Linux
Novell -> Windows

As long as both of the TSM clients are on the same operating
system.  AIX ->AIX, Solaris->Solaris
I think the TSM client have to be the same version also to be
able to restore data from one client to another.
