I've just attended the TSM Implementation course.
The number of deltas was quoted to be only 20.
Can this number be modified?

I intend to use adaptive backup to backup 
user data on the flock of PCs and Apples.
The users may use either dial-up lines or LAN.

Is there a method for checking beforehand 
whether the current backup session is going
to be a base or a meta backup?
This info would be used to prevent - or at least 
warn the user to not to use diap-up lines for 
huge backup sessions.  

With regards,
