In the very near future or just released, a TDP for VM's should be on
the market.
This was planned for ITSM 6.2.x

I've been searching online, including a number of listserv posts,
and what
I'm finding is that the information I'm looking for seems pretty
fragmented.  I'm trying to figure out what the options are for
backing up a
VMware version 4 implementation in an all-Linux environment.  I've
determined that a proxy server is needed still for VADP/vStorage,
just as
for VCB.  It appears that the proxy server must be run on
Windows.  I'm a
bit confused about what's supported, though.  So my questions are:

--In one place in the client manual, it says that file-level
backups are
only supported for Windows VMs.  I read on another website that
TSM only
works with VADP for file-level backups as of now, and for full VM
backups,
VCB is still required.  Does this mean that VCB must be present
in order to
back up Linux guests, and that only full VM backups are
available?  That
doesn't seem right to me, but that's where the bits of
information I've run
across leads me.

--If the answer to the above is yes, does anyone know if there
will be more
options for Linux VMs any time soon, and what it's likely to be?

--Has anyone been able to locate a single, comprehensive resource
describing
what functions are available in what circumstances and what's
required for
TSM with VADP?

Someone please tell me I'm missing something....

Thanks!
