Has anyone had any issues with this new client. We installed it on a
W2k3 Enterprise x64 server running SQL 2005 SP1 with supported CPU and
memory. Initially backups ran fine until larger more utilized databases
were added. A few times the server froze during the backup. Each time
for during a differential backup. There are no TSM or TSM for DB errors
and the event logs and error dumps are no help. We removed TSM for DB's
and are using the native SQL backup tool and everything is fine now. 

That's not much to go off of but if some else has had issues with the
x64 client with SQL 2005 then I might get some direction. I think TSM
for DB's is more a victum than a cause but the burden of proof has
fallen on me. 

Any acknowlegments of success with this client in a W2k3 x64/SQL 2005
environment would also be appreciated. 

Thanks,
Kenny
