I'd guess that the TSM 3.7 Backup Client opens up at about 640x480
on my 1024x768 NT4sp5, no matter what size and placement it was
last used.

Maybe some design considerations had to do with performance, but
the result definitely needs some work.  If current scheme continues,
I'd rather see the "detailed report" icon ... sort of looks like a piece of
paper ... changed to ">> More detail" or some such.  By the way,
running stats *are* available on this 2nd window, but you've got to be
brash enough to click an icon that's poorly marked.  Maybe bubble
help would be sufficient to allow you to see the stats that are available.

Lest I be misinterpreted ... the verbose listing of backup and restore
actions to DSMSCHED.LOG is by far the most important to me.

cheers,
