Actually we are running R3.34 notes servers on OS/2 warp, and we are trying to
impliment ADSM.  We were using Harbor, however, at our company it has become an
unsupported product, and ADSM has become the standard.  Our backups have been
taking way too long, for some of our servers, and the questionability of the the
backups that we do get for our Notes servers has come up.  So I decided to try
and install the notes agent, and try to cut down on the backup time as well as
make sure that we have valid backups for files that are constantly open and
changing.

We are in the midst of beginning to migrate all of our Notes servers to R4.11

We are using ADSM client v2.1.3.  I don't know what our ADSM server is, but I
would expent it to be a version 2 server.

What problems might I run into if I install the Notes agent before and when we
upgrade to Notes Server R4.11a?
