Hi TSM-ers! 
I have to correct something...
I thought our Window department was using VMWare. They are not, they use
Microsoft Virtual Machine, which seems to be a similar product as
VMWare. There is no integration with TSM here, right?
Thanks again!
Kind regards,

Hi TSM-ers!
Our windows department is looking at different backup products for
backing up their server.
They have two major problems with TSM. One I cannot solve: the TSM
client license is processor based, so quite expensive for the majority
of small servers. I think we all agree that the TSM client license
should be capacity based, but IBM aint listening here...
The other problem is that they state TSM cannot backup running VM's.
They now use a product called DPM to make snapshot copies of running
VM's.
I'm not really familiar with Window server management, especially when
it comes to virtualization, but I know one thing: TSM is one of the
leading, cutting edge backup products, so I doubt TSM is not supporting
this feature.
Does anybody know whether it is possible to make snapshot backups with
TSM of running VM's?
Thank you very much in advance for any reply!!!
Kind regards,
