You "might" be able to run the linux tsm client directly on the esx
server, to get guest os backups.  However even if that did work, it
would be whole image backups (not file level), and you'd need to bring
down the virtual machine before running it's backup.  I think the more
typical solution is to just run the tsm backup client within the os of
each virtual machine.

TSM Background:
TSM Version 5.3.2.2
OS AIX 5.3 Mod 3

ESX Version - 2.5 then eventually upgrade to 3


Is there a TSM agent(for windows) to backup the guest os files, and if
yes
where is it located on the ftp site?
