Is the question whether you can use the Linux or Windows client to back up 
the same file system into the same file space on the TSM server? That is, 
the view of \\machname\d$ will remain consistent regardless of whether you 
back up from Linux or Windows? If so, I would say "no". We certainly 
haven't tested this, and it would be considered an "unsupported 
configuration" if you ran into problems.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
