Hi!
Assuming you will NOT backup your LDAP Servers with TSM wait for this support,
it is not available yet.
Assuming you WILL backup your LDAP Servers with TSM this is a bad idea:
backups are fo restore: how can you restore a malfunctioning LDAP when you
cannot log-in because of maflunctioning LDAP?
