Does anyone listening know if this is the end-of-life for TSM being
AFS/DFS aware?  4.3.3 goes out of service on 12/31/2003, meaning one would
have to run an unsupported OS (AIX 4.3.3), but with a support TSM client
(5.1), and the AFS/DFS filesets, in order to backup AFS/DFS.

If this is true, can someone point us at the IBM Document that spells this
our in clear text that I can show to my management?
