Tom, can you give a brief description of the database backup issues you've been 
working on with IBM? Do you have PMR numbers I could review?

Windowsserver 2003?

We have been forced onto 7.x to support our 2012R2 servers (that is the
only client that is supported) but apparently still need 6.3.x for Windows
2003 (which still has over a year of support left from Microsoft).  We may
go to 6.4.x or 7.x on 2008/2012 servers if it will cure our database backup
issues (which we have been working with IBM for a few months on).  I have a
funny feeling that 7.x would work on 2003 but we do not want any
unsupported scenarios for backups.
