Hello

No, it's not different in 6.1, earlier versions work the same.  What you 
need to remember though is that you normally install a LAN-Free agent to 
get the data OFF the ethernet network.  If you're backing up a host with a 
storage agent on another host the data goes over ethernet to get to it.

Thanks

Hi,
This is how storage agent 6.1 works which might be one of the differences 
of
this version:
"the storage agent can support several clients while installed on only one
of the clients. You can also install the storage agent on a client system
that does not share storage resources with the Tivoli Storage
Managerserver, but that is connected to a client system that does
share storage
resources"
